Abstract :
The authors describe a novel method for maintaining the temperature of an oven when the power is dispatched in an integral AC cycle, pulse-modulated manner. The pulse rate is maintained by a microprocessor-implemented binary rate multiplier, allowing for minimal ripple in the oven temperature. Conditions for stability of the overall system are examined. The time response of the system is estimated from a model of the plant, controller and binary rate dispatch algorithm
