Design of MPPT mounted Solar Based Double Coil DC Electric Cooker with Smart Temperature Control Device

Abstract

This paper presents a cooking technology consisting of a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) based Electric Cooker with a feature of temperature control which can be operated by both solar panel or battery. Perturb & Observe method has been used as the algorithm of the MPPT which ensures battery charging by drawing Maximum Power from the PV Panel. Temperature control has been performed by using K-type thermocouple using relay. The hardware study has been done by using Photovoltaic (PV) Panel, MPPT, Temperature control circuit and battery. Time for cooking different food items has been observed and other necessary data have been analyzed to evaluate the performance of the electric cooker.
