ABSTRACT
Presently non-renewable sources of energy are widely used in dairy sector. Energy demand of India is growing beyond the limits of installable generation capacity because of increases in population and industrialization. It is therefore important to go for reliable, easily available and renewable sources of energy to fulfill the future demand. According to International Energy Agency (IEA) solar energy will fulfill around 45% of world’s energy demand. In Indian condition non-renewable sources of energy can be easily replaced by the solar energy. Furthermore, solar energy can benefit the environment and economy of India. It was found that solar energy is getting remarkable popularity in dairy industry. A wide use of solar energy along with sensible heat storage device (phase changing materials and thermic fluids) with solar concentrators is shown in this paper.
Key words :
Dairy industry, Phase changing materials, Solar concentrator, Solar energy.
