Abstract

Abstract: Cooking sector is considered as one of the major energy consuming sector in developing and underdeveloped countries. From the primitive age, humankind largely rely on biomass for their cooking energy need, even though there has been a tremendous upgradation in cooking methods. Due to hazardous effects and energy inefficiencies of conventional biomass cooking system, unconventional cooking energy (method) is becoming popular day by day. Dependency on ever depleting fossil fuel has forced us to switchover to renewable energy options and amongst all; solar energy seems best option due to its inherent reasons. In this study, efforts have been made to review the entire solar cooking systems incorporating with and without thermal energy storage available hitherto. The study reveals the different thermal performance parameters of solar cooking system and attempts to highlight the adaption factors of solar cooking system in the designated market.
