Abstract:

This paper confers about an induction cooker fed from a renewable source of energy like solar. Many people in the flourishing areas of the world struggle to cook with stoves that emit hazardous fumes and contribute to green-house gas emission; Induction cooking is derived from the principle of electromagnetic induction by inducing eddy currents in the coil that get excited in the ferromagnetic material to cause heating. The promptly available induction cooker uses Ac as a source of input, using this during peak load hours draws large amount of current that causes problem with utility. So we need to find a quick fix for this which is solar powered induction cooker. Solar Powered Induction Cooker uses solar as a source of energy. The overall setup is done in two stages, one is Dc to Dc converter stage and the other one is conversion of boosted Dc to high frequency Ac. Dc to Dc converter is required for boosting action because output from solar panel is very less. Dc to high frequency Ac conversion stage is used in order to meet the need of high frequency requirement(20KHz-100KHz) in induction cooking. Duty ratio control is used for generating the switching pulses. The output from the converter is given to an induction coil that produces the electrical energy which is converted to heat due to the resistance of the coil that cooks the food very quickly. By promoting this method of induction cooking using solar as a source of energy we can slash the problem with utility during peak load hours and also it spurs the use of renewable energy.Matlab simulation is also carried out for the above mentioned setup and hardware results are also obtained.
