© The Author(s) 2018. This paper explores a model predictive control (MPC) strategy with constraints satisfaction for a high power induction heating load. The MPC predicts the state variables and future control sequence of the system in advance and achieves on-line-optimization with a reduced error. The state-space model of the system with a parallel resonant load is developed and then MPC is applied. The proposed approach controls the DC link current at the rectifier output and reactive component of the supply current. The DC current is used to regulate the power of the heating load and the reactive component of input current is kept at zero to attain the unity power factor. The results show that the proposed strategy regulates the power of the heating load, achieves unity power factor at input of the system and handles the variables within the defined constraints effectively.
