IMPROVEMENT OF SOLAR POWERED ELECTRIC STOVE FOR ENERGY SAVING COOKING PROCESS
Mochammad Nuruddin, Ahmad Fahriannur, Saiful Anwar
Energy consumption for households is used for various purposes, including for cooking, lighting, air conditioning, and others. The cooking process is an activity in the household sector with considerable energy consumption. The fuel that is often used for the cooking process is LPG for urban areas and firewood for rural areas. LPG is a fuel whose price is relatively high and fluctuates with time. In addition, this fuel often has problems with uneven distribution in some areas. While the supply of materials is also increasingly limited over time due to problems with the environment. One solution to overcome these problems is to utilize renewable energy, especially solar energy which is always available throughout the year. The results obtained in this study are the design and manufacture of solar power plant installations that are integrated with electric stoves. This installation is able to heat as much as 20 liters of water and maintain water temperatures up to 70 oC for 6 hours.
Abstract
Energy consumption for households is used for various purposes, including for cooking, lighting, air conditioning, and others. The cooking process is an activity in the household sector with considerable energy consumption. The fuel that is often used for the cooking process is LPG for urban areas and firewood for rural areas. LPG is a fuel whose price is relatively high and fluctuates with time. In addition, this fuel often has problems with uneven distribution in some areas. While the supply of materials is also increasingly limited over time due to problems with the environment. One solution to overcome these problems is to utilize renewable energy, especially solar energy which is always available throughout the year. The results obtained in this study are the design and manufacture of solar power plant installations that are integrated with electric stoves. This installation is able to heat as much as 20 liters of water and maintain water temperatures up to 70 oC for 6 hours.
