Abstract

Complex systems can be modelled and their performance can be anticipated with the help of current computers and software tools that are applicable in real-world situations. The IH system is capable of being modelled and put through analysis in two distinct domains. The modelling is compatible with the research and applications in their entirety, including the particular control circuits and converter systems under consideration. The use of electrical modelling makes it possible to analyse the features of the IH load and to examine the variations in the parameters in order to determine the impact of load variations. In order to gain an understanding of the load's flow and thermal distribution, thermal modelling is a crucial component of this study. For the purpose of analysing the performance of the coil in terms of flux and temperature from its comparable model, the COMSOL Multiphysics software that is utilised is utilised.

Keywords: Induction heating, load modelling, COMSOL simulation, power converters.
