Abstract
The purpose of this study is to conceptualize an urban Hi-Tech Cook-Stove (HTCS) design using agricultural waste. Several steps need to be carried out. First, determine the cooking activities depend on the family size and food categories. Second, calculate the energy required for cooking. Third, determine the mass of biomass fuel required. Fourth, calculate the fuel consumption rate. Fifth, design the dimensions of the stove by considering the ergonomics, easy in manufacturing, installation, etc. Sixth, estimate the volume of each component. The result shows that the fuel supply must adjust the flow rate of fuel, air to fuel ratio controlled by a simple mechanical-electric compressor, monitor the combustion chamber visually/automatically, and the dust must be collected/disposed of automatically/mechanically. HTCS must consider the pellets from the higher heating value and faster of biomass with a certain composition of chopped and fibre, also the safety and comfort, such as overheating control, air exhaust control, combustion control, cooling control. For the future, the HTCS technical design concept must be integrated with the electricity and hot water from solar energy by using a hybrid photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) collector and urban biogas digester in the development of smart grids and smart cities.
Highlights
As a tropical and agrarian country, Indonesia has a large potential of biomass from solid agriculture waste from palm oil, coconut, rubber, sugar, rice, and corn, which can be converted to solid, liquid, and gas energy [1]
If there were biomass stoves made with high technology for certain urban communities, with biomass fuel from agricultural waste from pellets made by rural people, this would have significant energy, environmental and economic impact for the country, leading to national energy security [6]
The purpose of this study is to conceptualize a Hi-Tech cook-stove design using pellets and briquettes as fuel from solid biomass agricultural waste non-wood produced by rural people for certain urban communities
Summary
As a tropical and agrarian country, Indonesia has a large potential of biomass from solid agriculture waste from palm oil, coconut, rubber, sugar, rice, and corn, which can be converted to solid, liquid, and gas energy [1]. One of the uses of biomass solid waste is for cooking, using biomass stoves. The problem is, the image of biomass stoves, especially in Indonesia, is identical to the modest tech stoves for people in low-income rural areas. People in urban areas are comfortable with the ease of clean gas stoves. If there were biomass stoves made with high technology for certain urban communities, with biomass fuel from agricultural waste from pellets made by rural people, this would have significant energy, environmental and economic impact for the country, leading to national energy security [6]
