Week 6 Assignment: Searching in Academic Search Complete

Week Six Assignment Part One Research question: What is the efficiency of energy storage from PV solar cells and how is that measured ? Part Two Main concepts: What is the efficiency of energy storage from PV solar cells and how is that measured ? Search statement:   “energy storage” AND “PV solar cells” Part Three I put “energy storage*” in the first box and   and “PV solar cells” in the second box Which gave me 3 results. I used the scholarly peer reviewed limiter and had 2 results. I wanted more so I changed the field dropdown to TX All Text for both search terms and got 4 results. I used “Modeling a Hybrid Microgrid Using Probalistic Reconfiguration under System Uncertainties” and “Design of an Energy Hub Based on Natural Gas and Renewable Energy Resources”. Part Four I think one of the most important things I learned was the prominence of understanding your search terms. When ...
