REFERENCE SELECTION PROCEDURE FOR STUDYING THE SOILING EFFECT ON PV PERFORMANCE

Andrei BUTUZA

Abstract


Most successful research projects begin with a good knowledge of the studied field. The knowledge foundation is usually built on a thorough literature review. This paper presents an objective and rigorous reference selection procedure that can stand as a good starting point of a literature review. The procedure is exemplified by a literature search regarding the effects of soiling, dust and other surface deposits, on the performance of solar photovoltaic collectors. The procedure allowed the identification of representative scientific contributions in the field of study and made possible the identification of the most representative papers, the journals and research centres that publish in the studied field.

Keywords: reference selection procedure; thorough literature review; soiling;
