Design and Implementation of an Energy Saving Electric Stove with an Automatic Heat Control System

In Ethiopia, imported and locally manufactured electric stoves are used for cooking and baking food. An imported electric stove consumes less electric power, whereas locally manufactured electric stoves are the most energyconsuming appliances in the household. In both cases, electric power is dissipated in the form of heat through the resistor even though the power indicator is in the closed position in an imported electric stove because current flowing through the resistor is maintained. Due to this problem, an automatic heat control mechanism is designed in order to reduce unwanted excess heat loss. In addition to this, it solves different problems in society, such as reducing time, material consumption, resource waste, and human power. The required data for the project was gathered from the published papers, EEU, and from local communities through an oral interview about the cost and electric consumption of imported and locally manufactured electric stoves. The market's supply of temperature controllers, resistors, and contactors, as well as their attributes, were evaluated. One customer's annual savings in electric energy use was 1,805.983 KWh on average. An automatic heat management system allows society to conserve energy. The University of Gondar, Institute of Technology, created and manufactured the electric stove with an automated heat management system. This electric stove will be moved to the student café on the UoG Fasil campus.
