“…To meet the low cost target, the Score-Stove requires much more research and is currently too expensive for single household use, although work on affordability [6] and recent trials in Nepal by Kathmandu University [24] have shown that the cost targets are not as onerous as first thought. For the BUET research the objective was to find a solution that was less cost sensitive, more in tune with Bangladesh cooking habits and so could be implemented more quickly.…”

“…There is a growing body of opinion that more radical approaches are needed [5]. Riley [6] argues that the addition of electrical generation to cooking stoves increases the affordability and hence social acceptance of clean cooking. Studies in Malawi [7] using thermo-electric technology have made some progress, although the power produced is low, about 3 Watts of electricity.…”

A clean-burning cooking stove that also generates electricity (The Score-Stove TM ) was modified to enable evaluations to take place in 3 regions of Bangladesh. Using the principle of thermo-acoustics to generate electricity it can supply power for applications such as -LED lighting, mobile phone charging and radios particularly in rural areas without grid electricity. After assessing the needs of the rural communities through a survey, tea-stalls and small restaurants owners were identified as people with the most potential of using the Stove in Bangladesh. The Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology ((BUET) modified a Score-Stove to use both wood and a pressurised kerosene burner of a design that is widely used for cooking in rural areas of Bangladesh. The design was adapted to meet performance needs such as: heating rate, cooking efficiency, energy distribution, electric power generation, exhaust emissions and time taken to boil water using standardised water boiling tests. Performance was also compared with conventional (non-electrically generating) stoves that use a pressurised kerosene burner. A stove suitable to be demonstrated was developed to obtain feedback from some end-users for evaluation. Effects of the technical changes to the stove required for field trials and laboratory experimental results are presented. Technical deficiencies are documented and recommendations for improvements and future research in order to obtain wider end-user acceptance are made.

“…For remote communities, mini-grid and off-grid systems are often a more cost-effective avenue than grid extension because, in the absence of substantial public subsidies, the connection cost is prohibitively high. In a study of clean cookstoves, the impact on household expenses and attention to the needs of end users was found to be as important as the cost of the cookstove itself (Riley 2014).…”

Volume 51 | Number 1 | February 2020 IDS Bulletin The IDS Bulletin is an open access, peer-review journal exploring emerging international development challenges. It is published in four issues per year and is the flagship publication of the Institute of Development Studies, a leading global institution for research, teaching and learning, and impact and communications, based at the University of Sussex. Progressive economic, social and political change for everyone needs new kinds of action and relationships, shaped by new kinds of research and engagement. The IDS Bulletin aims to transform development knowledge, through its unique thematic issues developed by global learning partnerships that bridge academic, practice and policy discourse.

Score-Stove TM a clean-burning cooking stove that also generates electricity was tested using a pressurized kerosene burner. The Score-Stove works on the principle of thermo-acoustics to generate small-scale electricity. The device having hot-end, cold-end and regenerator acts in a way similar to a stirling cycle generating acoustic power, which is then converted to electricity using a linear actuator. It can supply small power for applications such as LED lighting, mobile phone charging and radios particularly in rural areas without grid electricity as well as improving household air pollution. After assessing the needs of the rural communities through a survey, tea-stalls and small restaurants owners were identified as clients with the most potential of using the stove in Bangladesh. Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology ((BUET) modified a Score-Stove to use both wood and a pressurized kerosene burner of a design that is widely used for cooking in rural areas of Bangladesh. The design was adapted to meet performance needs such as: heating rate, cooking efficiency, energy distribution, electric power generation, exhaust emissions and time taken to boil water using standardized water boiling tests. Performance was also compared with conventional (non-electrically generating) stoves that use a pressurized kerosene burner. The Score-Stove performance was then evaluated while increasing the pressure of the sealed working fluid (air in this case) from atmospheric to about 1.4 bar. The pressurization was found to almost double the power generation. An arrangement for utilizing cooling water waste heat was also devised in order to improve the thermal performance of the stove by 18%. Technical deficiencies are documented and recommendations for improvements and future research in order to obtain wider end-user acceptance are made.
