ECE Senior Project: Research Methods

This document outlines effective research strategies for studying wind turbine data monitoring systems. It covers key methods for locating relevant resources including books, e-books, and journal articles, particularly in the fields of Electrical and Computer Engineering. A focus is placed on utilizing the Deep Web to find critical academic data. The use of specific keywords and search strings, such as “wind turbine,” “data monitoring,” and “power output,” is emphasized to enhance search accuracy. Practical tips on navigating various databases for research are also included.

  1. ECE Senior Project: Research Methods Helen Powell 20 September 2011

  2. Today’s agenda • Research Strategy • Research Path • Finding Books and e-Books • Finding Journal Articles • The Deep Web

  3. Wind Turbine Data Monitoring System

  4. Research Strategy • Keywords • Search strings

  5. Keywords • “wind turbine” • “data monitoring” • “data monitoring system” • wind • speed • yaw • vibrat* • “power output”

  6. Search strings • “wind turbine” OR “wind generator” • “wind turbine” OR “wind generator”) AND “data monitoring system” • “data monitoring system” AND (“wind speed” OR “wind direction”)

  7. Research Path • Books (E-Books) • Journal articles • The Deep Web

  8. Books and E-Books • Electrical & Computer Engineering Subject Guide • Novanet • Books • Some (but not all) E-Books TIP: Prefer the e-books tab in Subject Guide to find e-books

  9. Journal Articles • Article databases • Adjust search string according to database • Try Prowler to identify appropriate databases

  10. The Deep Web AKA the Invisible Web • Scirus • IPL2 • Infomine • TIP: add the term “database” to your search engine search

  11. Images • Google Images • Google Maps • Google Earth
