Indonesia is one of the most vulnerable countries to natural disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunami, volcanic eruptions, landslides, and floods. One of the main issues that occur in areas affected by disasters is the power outage and gas shortage. This situation is added by the difficulty to obtain certain basic needs such as water and fuel. To maintain the availability of food for people affected by disasters, portable electric stoves are one of the solutions. By considering that due to power outage in a disaster-hit regions, this study propose a design of solar powered portable electric stove. This portable stove is designed to have power option of 300 Watt and 600 Watt using an Arduino Uno controller system. Test results showed that it needs 20 minutes to boil 1 litre of water using 300 Watt and only 15 minutes if using 600 Watt of power. Therefore, this equipment is useful for people in disaster impacted areas. © IJSTR 2019.
