I'm writing my thesis for about two weeks now and I haven't written a comprehensive literature review for my research up to that point. However, I have collected and summarized many research papers on my research area and have written some reviews based on them. So I decided to write a comprehensive literature review for my thesis as well as a base to write a journal paper. To understand the basics and the required guidelines to produce a good literature review, I searched the internet and come across many resources that I found to be very useful so far. I would like to share the resources that I found and I will update the post if I find new resources as well.

The picture was taken from Pixabay.com - I think I'm trying to say that I finally started it. One of the research areas that I'm very fascinated with is Microgrid research. there are several reasons for this long fascination. I heard about them in my final year group project in uni (UoM, Sri Lanka) and who can forget their FYP? (However, I was a lazy undergraduate and didn't do much about it) They appear to solve many problems in the modern electric grid with high penetration of renewable energy sources. Their islanded operation can provide electricity even in grid outages, which is both fascinating and helpful to critical loads. (eg. Hospitals, Water supply,..) (Keep in mind that above is not the full potential of microgrids and I will compile a post on the full potential of microgrids in the future) I'm currently working on microgrid research in UoM. The current research is "Design and development of a new Reconfigurable Architecture for Solar Ph...
