“…Bibliometric analysis has already been applied in studies that have analysed smart control applications in the thermal storage systems [3], [4] and solar cooling technologies [5] with the lateral concluding that it is highly recommended to combine this research method with extensive literature review. While the former presented the use of this method for identifying the most relevant journals for publishing in specific topics and use in identifying research gaps.…”

With the increase of renewable energy sources, the control methods of the energy systems are an increasingly important topic. Control methods have evolved from simple on/off controllers to methods that utilize artificial intelligence and can have a predictive nature. This paper investigates the control methods that are particular for solar thermal systems. A bibliometric method is applied to analyse scientific literature related to the specific application from the Web of Science database. Results show that recent developments in control methods focus on solar thermal to power and hybrid systems while district heating is a potential research gap. Annual publication trends, country, journal and keyword analysis is presented.

“…We emphasise clearly that in the field of research on renewable energy sources, the use of the bibliometric analysis method has a long history. Among the numerous studies conducted by international authors, studies devoted to specific issues deserve special attention: selected technologies [85,86], economic and social problems [87,88], research trends [89][90][91][92], supply chain [93,94], and trends and future RES [95][96][97].…”

This paper aims to identify a bibliometric profile, presenting the results of research and debates in social media on renewable energy sources (RES). It analyses current scientific publications (2019–2021) and tweets posted in July 2021 by international Twitter users. The subject of the study is an analysis of key words in articles, the results of research, and the content of tweets (hashtags #renewables) related to renewable energy (RE) as well as an assessment of the morphology of content and the degree of its differentiation in the analysed data resources. The conducted analysis facilitates an assessment of similarities of key words in scientific papers and the content of debates in social media—on Twitter, a global platform. In its methodological dimension, the work is based on a bibliometric analysis (articles in both bases) and the analysis of Twitter data. This methodological approach allows for identifying the main trend, profile, and bibliometric characteristics of scientific papers representing two streams of information: articles in bases and the content (hashtags) of authentic and unguided international debates on Twitter. The focus on this platform results from a great popularity of social media as a platform for social debate, expressing comments and opinions and providing an opportunity to gain understanding of social, cultural, and environmental issues related to renewable energy sources from the perspective of social media participants. The objective of the paper and the proposed methodological approach relates to a knowledge gap in the area of renewable energy, and, more specifically, climate change and sustainable development.

“…In the field of energy storage Calderon et al [8], published a bibliometric study analysis on TES showing that more than 14.000 documents regarding TES were published in the last decade. A bibliometric analysis of the studies related to smart control techniques applied to TES was done by Tarragona et al [9]. Cárdenas-Ramírez et al [10] used the bibliometric analysis to support the systematic review about the encapsulation and the shape-stabilization of PCM.…”
