One of the most ambitious solar kitchens in the world is at a peaceful campus scattered by Brahma Kumaris. Every day, India gives a solar thermal power plant, the power to prepare fresh, hot vegetarian meals for 000 5,3 people – no electricity, slices or cooking gas.
The country is the only unit in the country, which started operations in 2017, which runs on the solar thermal energy round-round.
Acres, one-megawat capacity solar project is a product of cooperation between the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Security and International Cooperation for International Cooperation.
The capital of Mount Abu State is about 494 km from Jaipur. Is in the distance.
“The remarkable of the plant is that the engineers of Brahma Kumaris had composed about 90 percent of the components with all 770 parabolic reflective dishes in India. Only the solar-grade mirror was imported from the United States,” said Spokenan of Brahma Kumaris in Sirohi district. They said that the parabolic reflector is designed to imitate the movement of sunflower and track the sun’s path in the sky to maximize energy captures. Each reflector directs the size of a specific apartment of two bedrooms and the sun in a fixed focus box, where the water is converted into steam.
This steam is then used to produce electricity and cook meals in the kitchen on the site.
He said, “The integration of the thermal storage system allows the plant to generate 24 hours of electricity, the current production of about 16,000 units daily and half of it Brahma Kumaris Campus has eaten,” he said.
The origin of the solar project can be detected by 1990 1990, when a subtle version of the technology was presented by a German scientist Wolfgang Chefler. The spokesman said that local tribal communities had the idea of helping to cook wood using solar steam.
Inspired by its model, local engineers and researchers expanded the concept to completely in the operational power station.
With the investment of Rs 2 crore and the construction of five years, this plant is a working model of durable and decentralized energy production today.
The spokesman said researchers and students around the world visit the site to study its operation every year.
This project is about modular, less effective and with the materials of the locally locally materials.
With easy maintenance and reliable long -term performance, experts believe that abundant sunlight can be achieved in other parts of India.
What is more important to this plant is India’s growing ambition to go to the green energy, the spokesman said.
