Performance analysis of a prototype small scale electricity-producing biomass cooking stove
Abstract
An electrical generator has been integrated with a locally produced, biomass-fed clay cooking stove in rural Malawi. The generator produces small amounts of electricity based on the thermoelectric effect. Five demonstrator stoves were deployed into a rural community in the Balaka district for up to 6months. This study investigates the power generation performance of the devices over the first 80days of the field trial. It was determined that …
