1. A method of fabricating a thermoplastic component using inductive heating, said method comprising: forming a workpiece comprising the thermoplastic component and a susceptor;placing the thermoplastic component and the susceptor between a top tool and a bottom tool, wherein the top tool and the bottom tool comprise fused silica or stainless steel;positioning a plurality of induction heating coils to define a process area for passage of the thermoplastic component, wherein the plurality of induction heating coils comprises a first set of coils and a second set of coils, wherein individual coils of the second set of coils are positioned between a pair of individual coils of the first set of coils;configuring a first power supply to provide the first set of coils with electricity for a first predetermined period of time while a second power supply is not supplying electricity to the second set of coils;configuring the second power supply to provide the second set of coils with electricity for a second predetermined period of time when the first power supply is not providing electricity to the first set of coils;controlling a supply of electricity provided to the plurality of induction heating coils to intermittently activate the first set of coils and the second set of coils by alternating the supply of electricity between the first power supply and the second power supply so that the first set of coils is provided with electricity when electricity is not provided to the second set of coils, and the second set of coils is provided with electricity when electricity is not provided to the first set of coils wherein the process area extends through the first set of coils and the second set of coils, wherein the first power supply and the second power supply are configured to alternately power the first set of coils and the second set of coils such that the first set of coils and the second set of coils are energized at different times to reduce electromagnetic interference between individual coils of the first set of coils and the second set of coils; andpassing the workpiece through the process area, wherein the process area extends through the first set of coils and the second set of coils. 2. The method in accordance with claim 1, wherein controlling the supply of electricity provided to the plurality of induction heating coils further comprises controlling the supply of electricity provided to the first set of coils independently from the supply of electricity provided to the second set of coils. 3. The method in accordance with claim 1, wherein controlling the supply of electricity provided to the plurality of induction heating coils further comprises configuring the first power supply to power the first set of coils and configuring the second power supply to power the second set of coils. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the thermoplastic component is a wing skin. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein the wing skin is fabricated with only a solvent wipe to remove surface contaminants. 6. The method of claim 4, wherein the method further comprises repairing the wing skin in the process area. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the thermoplastic component is a wind turbine blade. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the wind turbine blade is fabricated without fasteners. 9. The method of claim 7, wherein the wind turbine blade is fabricated with only a solvent wipe to remove surface contaminants. 10. The method of claim 7, wherein the method further comprises repairing the wind turbine blade in the process area. 11. A method for fabricating a thermoplastic component using inductive heating, said method for use in aircraft manufacturing, said method comprising: forming a workpiece comprising the thermoplastic component and a susceptor;placing the thermoplastic component and the susceptor between a top tool and a bottom tool, wherein the top tool and the bottom tool comprise fused silica or stainless steel;positioning at least a first set of coils and a second set of coils to define a process area for passage of the thermoplastic component, wherein first coils of the first set of coils and second coils of the second set of coils alternate along a length of the process area;configuring a first power supply to provide electricity to the first set of coils; andconfiguring a second power supply to provide electricity to the second set of coils, wherein the first power supply is configured to provide electricity to the first set of coils for a first predetermined period of time when the second power supply is not providing electricity to the second set of coils, and the second power supply is configured to provide electricity to the second set of coils for a second predetermined period of time when the first power supply is not providing electricity to the first set of coils in order to reduce electromagnetic interference between the first set of coils and the second set of coils, wherein the first power supply and the second power supply are configured to alternately power the first set of coils and the second set of coils such that the first set of coils and the second set of coils are energized at different times to reduce electromagnetic interference between individual coils of the first set of coils and the second set of coils; andpassing the workpiece through the process area, wherein the process area extends through the first set of coils and the second set of coils. 12. The method of claim 4, wherein the wing skin is fabricated without fasteners. 13. The method of claim 11, wherein the thermoplastic component is a wing skin. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the wing skin is fabricated without fasteners. 15. The method of claim 13, wherein the wing skin is fabricated with only a solvent wipe to remove surface contaminants. 16. The method of claim 13, wherein the method further comprises repairing the wing skin in the process area. 17. The method of claim 11, wherein the thermoplastic component is a wind turbine blade. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein the wind turbine blade is fabricated without fasteners. 19. The method of claim 17, wherein the wind turbine blade is fabricated with only a solvent wipe to remove surface contaminants. 20.
