This work develops a nonlinear controller for an induction heating system using a parallel resonant inverter. The proposed controller should be seen as a nonlinear alternative to the standard Phase-locked loop technique which uses a PI regulator. The asymptotic stability of the closed loop system is demonstrated using a Lyapunov function. The controller is experimentally validated and its performances (robustness and disturbance rejection) are compared to those of a PI regulator.
