MUMBAI, India, Oct. 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202441031084 A) filed by Vinayaka Missions Kirupananda Variyar Engineering College, Vinayaka Missions Research Foundation, Salem, Tamil Nadu, on April 18, 2024, for 'solar powered induction heater.'

Inventor(s) include Dr. R. Devarajan; and Dr. P. Selvam.

The application for the patent was published on Oct. 24, under issue no. 43/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Disclosed herein is the Solar Powered Half bridge high frequency Induction Heater. Cooking is the application of heat to food. This topology is used to integrate the photovoltaic principle and electromagnetic Induction Principle which meets the needs of cooking in residential and industrial application. The present high frequency induction heater is powered by power generated from the solar panel. Hence, the operating cost of the system is to be zero. The-high frequency induction heater is constructed by two power electronic switches arid two capacitors. By the application of this present high frequency inverter produces the exact high frequency ac signal for the heating element. Hence, the effective electromagnetic induction is developed and the more amount of heat generated in the bottom of the cooking pan. This inverter injects a lesser number of harmonic components. The present system supports the quality of power and maintains the reliability of the power system. The above mentioned solar powered induction heater is simulated and tested. Finally, validate the desired result of this present invention. The advantages of a solar induction heater are zero operating cost, No smoke, Utilization of green energy, Cool kitchen, Easy cleaning, No carbon emission and Good efficiency."
