Study of Recent Developments in Solar Cookers

Ravina Adhao, Prof. P. B. Ingle

Abstract :

Food delivers energy to Human beings; hence it is necessary that the energy required for cooking the food is obtained from an Alternate source of energy, instead of using conventional energy sources such as wood, Cow-dung, Kerosene, Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) and Electricity as well. Solar energy is utilized in the solar cooker which makes it eco-friendly and clean. There are various types of solar cookers available in the market, depending on the demand of customers, but still, the utilization is not sufficient. Some of the factors are bulky size, heavyweight, working place and required cooking time and the most important is the awareness about using a solar cooker. Hence to make the solar cooker easy to use and smaller in size with minimum cost is a major challenge. The use of photovoltaic and thermal hybrid solar cooker has boosted the cooking process with solar cookers. There is certainly scope for research in solar cookers. In this paper, various types of solar cookers and the latest trends in them are discussed in detail.
