Description
Summary:This work presents the experimental development of the first two prototypes of thermoelectric generators intended for initial electrification of rural isolated homes. The microcontroller system designed for these devices is oriented to develop a “plug and play” generator that is able to work on firewood home stoves without specialized supervision.
