Induction Heating Cookers: A Path Towards Decarbonization Using Energy Saving Cookers

Induction heating is leading the way towards electrification in heating processes in the industrial and domestic contexts. Domestic induction heating appliances offers higher efficiency due to the inherently efficient induction heating process, which directly heats the pot, and the high performance power converters implemented. In the current context, these appliances are very useful tools to achieve electrification and pave the path towards decarbonization in homes. In this paper, induction heating technology is reviewed, and the main design trends and challenges are highlighted.
