Design and Implementation of Solar PV Based Induction Cooker for Refugee Camp

Abstract

Solar power is an excellent, environmentally friendly, and dependable option for meeting our energy needs in the future. The program is based on a policy from the Department of Energy (DoE) that encourages the expansion of solar renewable energy appliances and their positive impact on both the national economy and the global environment. This study takes advantage of the recent market advantage of induction cooking technologies to apply more efficient and cost-effective ways that align with future energy sector desires. Induction cookers have been demonstrated to transport at least 80% of the power generated to the cookware, whereas electric stoves and gas burners create more power to compensate for the power that is passed to the atmosphere in the form of heat (i.e. roughly 55% efficient). At the moment, the induction cooker is the most advanced form of cooking technology that has been developed. Although all appliances, including induction cookers, are entirely reliant on grid electricity. According to studies, solar energy might replace our dependence on non-renewable resources. The product is self-sufficient, easy, dependable, fuel-free, and adaptable. The study proposed a refugee camp induction cooker that is renewable and carbon-free. For this research, the induction stove was mostly powered by solar energy. Pulse width modulation increases solar power and system efficiency. Ultimately, this energy is used to charge the battery. This solves the renewable-based cooking system's intermittency issue.
