CHAPTER ONE
1.0                                                        INTRODUCTION
1.1                                           BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Traditionally, stoves were invented using kerosine, gas, firewood and charcoals as sources of energy, but the risk of using these energy sources are: - they produce carbon monoxide and the cost of getting them is too high. Considering these disadvantages it was later modify to be powered with electricity -electric stove. However, the challenge with electric stove is that it consumes higher energy due to heating element attached with the design and it can only be used whenever there is mains power supply. These challenges with electric stove led to the invention of renewable energy stove – solar stove.
The proposed study is on a solar poweredstove which is built around an inverter, solar panel and rechargeable battery.
The concept of this stove is through inductive heating instead of using heating element – as it is been used in conventional cooker which makes it a high current device. Induction heating is the process of heating an electrically conducting object by electromagnetic induction, through heat generated in the object by eddy currents [2]. An induction heating system consists of an electromagnet, and an electronic oscillator that passes a high-frequency alternating current (AC) through the electromagnet. The rapidly alternating magnetic field penetrates the object, generating electric currents inside the conductor called eddy currents [2]. The eddy currents flowing through the resistance of the material heat it by Joule heating. In ferromagnetic materials like iron, heat may also be generated by magnetic hysteresis losses. The frequency of current used depends on the object size, material type, coupling and the penetration depth.
An important feature of the induction heating process is that the heat is generated inside the object itself, instead of by an external heat source via heat conduction (John, 2014). Thus objects can be heated very rapidly. In addition there need not be any external contact, which can be important where contamination is an issue. Induction heating is used in many industrial processes, such as heat treatment in metallurgy, Czochralski crystal growth and zone refining used in the semiconductor industry, and to melt refractory metals which require very high temperatures. It is also used in induction cooktops for heating containers of food; this is called induction cooking [3].
An induction stove is a key piece of equipment used in all forms of induction heating. Typically an induction heater operates at either medium frequency (MF) or radio frequency (RF) ranges.  However, this work is based on building a solar powered stove using solar panel, inverter, battery and induction heater the major components.
Problem Statement
Traditional cooking involves using kerosine, gas, firewood and charcoals as source of energy, but the risk of using these energy sources is that they produce carbon monoxide and the cost of getting them is too high. When these challenges was discovered it led to discovery of electric powered cooker which is liable of consuming high electric unit due to the high power element used. To solve all these challenges a dc solar cooker was invented which has numerous advantage that overcome the challenges of all the conventional cooker such as –  it does not produce carbon monoxide, No more gas or kerosene is exhausted or high electricity bills, it consumes less power and no more buying kerosine, gas, firewood and charcoals.
Aim and objectives of the study
The main aim of this work is to build a solar powered stove using inductive heating system. The objectives of the study are:

1. To build aworking system prototype in order to demonstrate the concept and benefits of the system
2. To reduce load on the national grid that turn to be reduce the overall energy consumption dependency on the main energy supply in the country
3. To decrease customer utility bill on energy utilization because of its non-fuel consumption, low price and maintenance cost as compared to the convectional sources of power supplies within International and Local market.
4. To overcome disadvantages seen in traditional cooking.
5. Finally, to reduce carbon discharges and subsequently reduce global warming particularly in a period when poor climatic change has become a threat to human survival and life in general to all living creatures hence an ever increasing concern to control it.

Review of related studies
Avinash  et al (2013) investigated a solar cooker based on parabolic dish collector with phase change thermal storage unit. In this experimental setup, solar cooker with phase change thermal storage unit was kept on absorber plate of parabolic dish collector. During day time, acetanilide (phase change material) stores solar heat and during evening, solar cooker is kept in the insulator box. Then, the phase change material delivers heat to the food.In a study an ordinary solar cooker was compared with the solar cooker painted black and solar cooker with outer surface painted black along with glazing, the temperatures obtained for each type is 119oC, 175.4oC, and 186.3oC, respectively.
Nahar (2010) carried out an experiment, testing and performance of improved solar cooker was carried out, in which it was observed that solar ovens are more efficient than solar cookers, but on the contrary solar ovens are more expensive and bulkier along with requirement of more tracking time. Hence simple box cookers with some modifications can overcome its demerits.
It was observed that when the horizontal surface of absorption was tilted for better (33% more) solar radiation acceptance. Here two adjustable mirror boosters were used for improvement in solar radiation absorption. This resulted improvement in overall solar efficiency i.e 24.6% which is thus comparable with the solar oven. But it affected the cost of this improved solar cooker by a minute amount of 10%.
Smita  et al (2013) made an advancement in the solar cooker helps overcome flaws in it, especially in the box type solar cookers, in the 1980’s scientists mainly focused on the maximum optimization of the geometry of the solar cookers in order to simplify the geometry, and thus to reduce the overall cost. It was mentioned that with use of single adjustable booster mirror to solar box, notable amount of energy received for various angles of incidences increased significantly; moreover with increase in the latitude position, energy absorbed increases. Phase changing materials storage unit is helpful for cooking in the evening. Transparent Insulation materials trap the heat in the solar box and since they are transparent, there is no barrier for solar radiation to pass.
Makinde et al (2022) carried out a work on a digital solar-powered dc induction cooker that comes with numerous advantages, including high efficiency, almost two times the existing technologies. Its portable compared to the existing technology, its efficiency comes with low power consumption i.e. all power that is generated is transferred, at least 80 % of the power generated and above all it is aimed at designing a stand-alone DC induction cooker. It encompasses the use of a heating element powered by a DC source from energy trapped from the sun, with the aid of PV cells, battery, charge controller, and relays using AT MEGA 328P microcontroller for switching and control purposes. The design enables the selection of time for either warming or cooking. The heat for cooking and warming is produced by the Nichrome wire (element) according to the time set. The temperature at 100oc was obtained at 45 minutes. The system’s efficiency can be improved in the Nichrome wire (element) and a corresponding increase in the backup storage and the PV modules.

Khan et al (2020) worked on the development of a solar PV-basedinverter-less grid integrated cooking solution. They proposeda system that incorporates a control circuit that connects grid electricity to the solar PV. Via a DC link and provides a DC output eliminating the requirements of grid-tied inverters. In the proposed system, preference for power delivery is always given to the solar PV and the grid effectively operates as the backup for the system when solar PV output fluctuates due to varying weather and climatic conditions. The disadvantage of this system lack of a reliable backup system, as the grid supply was proposed as the backup.

Akinwole (2019) designed and implemented an electric cooker control system as a means of preventing domestic fire incidents. The paper established the fact that the system will prevent ubiquitous fire incidents associated with electric stoves and other heating devices. It describes the appliances of simple electronics circuitries in designing the low-cost cooker control device. It is believed that the unit will prevent fire incidences associated with an electric cooker, The paper recommends the incorporation of an embedded system with
Liquid Crystal Display in future design improvement. The setback is that it does not have backup power.
Adebayo (2017) designed and constructed a DC Operated
Electric Cooker using service main as a source, the work relates to an inverter circuit driving device of a cooker, and more particularly to an inverter circuit of a cooker which is capable of varying the width of a drive pulse to an inverter with a variation in an input voltage to vary a switching frequency of the inverter, thereby stabilizing heating power generated by a switching operation of the inverter and preventing an internal device of the inverter from being damaged due to the variation in the input voltage, The inverter circuit is applied to the cooker to heat an object (cooking vessel) to be cooked by controlling a power switching device therein. The power switching device performs a switching operation in response to a control signal to apply a drive voltage to the induction coil for the inner pan to heat the inner pan. The inverter circuit comprises a power source for supplying a commercial alternating current (AC) voltage and a rectifier for rectifying the AC voltage supplied by the power source. The type of construction is dependent on the source from the service main, therefore cannot always be used whenever needed. There should be provision for an alternating source for the construction.
Omotoyosi (2015) worked on standalone parabolic Dish solar cooker for Africa condition. The study presented in this report considered a prototype solar cooking system that is relatively cheap and that can be modified to meet these challenges faced in African communities. A parabolic solar cooker, which uses a parabolic dish as a concentrator, was designed and developed. The concentrator used was a television satellite dish of 2mm diameter, in which the reflecting area was covered with reflective aluminum strips. The dish concentrates radiation from the sun onto a conical cavity receiver placed at its focal point. The system uses heat transfer fluid as its working fluid and a cuboid-shaped storage tank insulated with ceramic wool to enhance the sensible heat storage technique used. While a cooking head in the form of a flat spiral copper tube put onto the storage tank was used as the cooking section. The solar cooker was tested under winter conditions in South Africa, and each cooking test was done according to international standard procedures for testing solar cooker performance. Utilization efficiency of 47% was achieved, the energy efficiency was 0.05%, and the average characteristic boiling time was around 13.32min/kg. The solar cooker can be used indoors, thus eliminating the need for its user to stay in the sun. But the problem with this project work is that there is no reliable backup system in case of fluctuation of heat transfer as it working fluid. But here a reliable backup system is provided.

CONCLUSION
The induction cookers in the market use mains power to operate and that limits the flexibility in terms of powersources. The working principle of this work shall be similar to what is in the market as mentioned earlier, but with more of advancement features like using a DC power source, taking solar as a means of charging the battery (storage) and also making it a complete portable standalone product makes the difference. The benefits of this device include the economics of which the energy is free from the sun, environmental looks at zero released of toxic gases in the atmosphere and health in terms of decreasing the amount of fossil fuels usage. The cookers in the market are completely dependent on electricity generated by a utility company. The introduction of solar energy comes intending to fill the big gap existing in the use of electricity that is 100 % dependent on non-renewable resources.
