Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on optimizing energy supply and demand in Ethiopia, recognizing the need to avoid shortages or surpluses of energy by projecting future requirements accurately.
- A mathematical model was created using data from the past fifteen years, employing linear and multilinear regression techniques, to analyze energy consumption trends in relation to factors like GDP, population growth, and urbanization.
- The results forecast energy demand scenarios up to 2052 based on different GDP growth rates, validating the model's effectiveness through comparison with actual trends.
A laboratory setup with two axis of manual sun-tracking was designed and built. To get the predicted values for a solar injera stove, a 20-min heating time to prepare it for baking, 3.1 kWh power in the first hour, and 5.

For any solar-powered device tracking mechanism is critical; it must be able to follow the pattern of the sun's path. This research created a manual tracking mechanism for a solar-powered steam injera stove.
