点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Vegawatt is a trademarked electricity generator for restaurants and food service facilities that uses waste vegetable cooking oil as a fuel to generate on-site electricity and hot water. It provides the facility a clean and renewable source of energy resulting in the savings of financial resources while saving the environment. Although this onsite Micro-Bio combined heat and power (CHP) system is functional as a preproduction prototype, performance has not been characterized and there is a research and development opportunity to develop monitoring and control systems in a user-friendly way while securing safety and efficiency of operation. In this project, a complete microcontroller-based monitoring and control unit is developed that is
