Development of electric stove for smart use of Solar Photovoltaic energy with national grid

Abstract

Saving energy is now one of the major concerns for the researchers. Still a lot of fossil fuels are being consumed directly or indirectly just for cooking and hence affecting the global environment. With the rapid increase in demand of energy for cooking with proportion to population increase, it will not take much time to finish all the resources that are available now. According to the thesis, energy for cooking is mostly supplied from solar photovoltaic panels in alliance with national grid line. The major contribution of this project will be the invention of re-designing existing stove coil. The national grid will be in action only when, panel and battery are not giving sufficient power to the load. An Electric Charge Controller will ensure safety of the system and store charge in the Battery. The research given in this thesis aims at analyzing the time requirement for cooking same foods in comparison with the gas or normal electric stove. To show the effectiveness as compared to natural gas or electric stove, the thesis contains a huge statistical data, taken for a number of times. Modification of the stove for providing variable energy to cook different food is the future work of the thesis.
