Solar steam cooking system is parabolic concentrator dish based system using solar energy to generate steam. The solar steam generation plant consist of solar parabolic concentrator, circular receiver, boiler, automatic E-W tracking system, and valves as per code requirement, feed water system and control panel. Parabolic dish concentrator shall automatically track the E-W motion of the sun and concentrate the sun light at a focus point on a fixed receiver.  Hot water is circulated between receiver and steam drum. Saturated steam up to 10 bar pressure is built up inside the steam drum. The conventional steam boiler will be utilized when solar thermal system is not able to meet the complete requirement. The solar steam generation system will be integrated with the conventional steam generation system in such a manner that utilization of solar thermal energy for cooking is maximized.  The solar steam cooking system is installed at Gargi Hostel on MNIT Jaipur campus.
