Design of solar cooking models to enhance energy utilization and environment protection with their cost-benefit analysis: a case study of an institutional area in the state of Rajasthan, India.

A systematic approach and methodology for financial appraisal of the Scheffler dish solar cooker has been presented in this study. An approach is applied to meet the useful cooking energy demand at a location with a high availability of DNI by a Scheffler type of 16 m area and the effective aperture area of 11.65 m, weight of 400 kg, an efficiency of 40% with 980 (kg/year/ m) steam output at 120 °C.

Economic and environmental impact analyses of hybrid generation system in respect to Rajasthan.

This paper intends to show the aspects of an environment-friendly hybrid energy system (HES) for reducing the electrical power problems in remote areas and providing pollution-free energy. It draws attention towards renewable HES to attain a consistent and independent system. Optimization of the apparatus extent, step-up asset price, and effects on environment is also taken care of.
