Direct DC use of PV for cooking and sanitary
Book Contribution - Book Chapter Conference Contribution
The energy from solar can easily harnessed to be used for various applications and grid injection. For cooking, different techniques can be utilized. Some people use the sun to cook. Other people use batteries and inverters even at noon. Hence, the cooking system becomes expensive. In fact, Photovoltaic panels did not decrease considerably in price. This paper proposes a simple electronic circuit that a Photovoltaic system can directly be used for cooking. The circuit aims at facilitating a cooking plate user to set a duty ratio. The duty ratio is limited to maintain the array voltage above a minimal level to avoid that it operates too far away from the maximal power point when less power is available. Moreover, it shows to be cost-effective compared to Photovoltaic grid connected and to charcoal. REFERENCES
