Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around finding reputable sources for research papers relevant to a thesis in Mechanical Engineering, specifically focusing on a hybrid system of solar and wind energy. Participants explore various avenues for obtaining research materials and seek clarification on the nature of the inquiry.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants inquire about the specific needs of the original poster (OP), questioning whether they seek to purchase a thesis or find journals for research purposes.
  • One participant suggests consulting a professor for guidance on research topics and sources.
  • Another participant emphasizes the importance of aligning the thesis topic with recent findings and foundational principles in the field.
  • The OP clarifies their intent to gather ideas for their thesis without resorting to copying or purchasing work.
  • Participants request more details about the OP's area of interest and the journals they currently read to provide tailored suggestions.
  • The OP mentions working on a hybrid solar and wind energy system and expresses difficulty in integrating innovative ideas.
  • One participant shares links to an Insights article and a thread discussing simulations of renewable energy power grids as potential resources for the OP.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the need for clarification regarding the OP's specific research interests and the types of resources they are seeking. However, the discussion remains unresolved regarding the best sources for research papers and innovative ideas.

Contextual Notes

The discussion reflects varying levels of detail provided by the OP, which may affect the specificity of the suggestions offered by other participants.

Who May Find This Useful

Students in Mechanical Engineering, particularly those working on renewable energy systems or seeking guidance on research methodologies and resources.

Can you clarify what you mean? Are you asking where you can buy a thesis so you can present it as your own to your thesis committee? Or are you asking what journals you should already be reading in order to get more familiar with published work? What is your specialty? Is this thesis for your undergrad or graduate ME work?
 
Ask your professor.

With your topic unknown, a general suggestion might be made. Firstly, your thesis advisor and committee should play a role in the topic selection. However, they might allow one free reign on those choices. Secondly, a mentor from the early-90s; when, some work was done as a NSF-funded undergraduate researcher, stated this, "Tie one's work with recent findings and distant fundamentals within the field." For one, those original results might have seen some polishing or tarnishing over the decades. Since, they saw an "origination". Also, having one or more alternative-views or application areas of one's work might prove profitable.

A secondary focus on how the various aspects of your chosen topic might be easily-taught students at various grade levels. And, how it might clarify some of the fundamental topics with your field could be a very nice side-comment among any undergraduate, graduate, or postdoctoral thesis.

Education, Theory, and Application (ETA) are three primary-pillars of most subjects. Hopefully, your work progresses well.

Sorry I didn’t mean that. I just want to know is there any sites of papers, journals so that can get some good ideas for my thesis of Mechanical engineering department. That's all. Just getting ideas. No copying, no buying

Thank goodness. :smile:

What areas of work are you interested in? Is this for your BSME or your graduate thesis? What ME journals do you read regularly? What has your faculty advisor suggested so far?

The more details you can give us, the better we can make our suggestions.

Thank you.
Currently I am working on Hybrid system of Solar and Wind energy system. My supervisor is specialized on Renewable energy. Please give me suggestions about from where should I start. I have also read some journals so far. But integrating some innovative ideas is tough thing actually.
Do you have any ideas or guidelines?

Sigh. Is this for your BSME or graduate work? Please try your best to answer all of the questions we are asking you to try to help you.

Here is a good Insights article that may help to give you some ideas: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/renewable-energy-meets-power-grid-operations/

Also, here is a thread that discusses simulations of renewable energy power grids: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/software-to-simulate-a-renewable-grid-with-ml.1058067/
