Critical Reflection

-
 Module Learning Before delving into this critical thinking and communication module, my confidence in both written and verbal expression was somewhat lacking. I've consistently aspired to enhance my public speaking abilities, as the fear associated with it tends to impede my performance. While I acknowledge possessing adequate skills, the desire for continuous improvement has driven me to seek strategies to excel in these domains. This module unexpectedly transformed my perspective on writing and communication. The provided resources, both online and in class, played a pivotal role in refining my skills. Specifically, formal report writing introduced me to researching platforms like Google Scholar, ChatGPT, and Library OneSearch. This exposure not only familiarized me with diverse sources but also taught me to seamlessly integrate citations into my writing. This newfound skill enhances the credibility and depth of my work, contributing to more persuasive and well-supported communi...

Grade for participation

-
I believe an excellent grade is fitting for my participation in this module. My consistent punctuality, demonstrated by never missing a class and submitting assignments on time, showcases my dedication to academic excellence. Actively participating in discussions, I initiate group interactions and offer constructive feedback to peers, fostering a positive learning environment. A recent group project exemplifies my proactive engagement and substantial contributions, significantly enhancing the collaborative experience. Therefore, I believe my commitment, initiative, and positive contributions warrant an excellent grade.

My contribution to the research project

-
Technical Report / Research - Researched the different type of vacuum robot that is possible to use for our project using Google Search - Found out about the general functions of the vacuum robot by using ChatGPT - Evaluated on the sensors of the vacuum robot cleaner - Researched on Google Search and found out how robot cleaners are important in our lives -Wrote about the significance of robot cleaners in people’s lives in the report - Researched on the main issues or improvements that can be made to the robot - Researched using Google Scholar to find relevant articles about the current path planning algorithm (row-by-row) method on:      current issues     possible improvements/solutions - Researched using Google Search and wrote about the boustrophedon method for the coverage path planning in the report - Wrote the executive summary of the report - Created the table of contents and ensure that information is organized - Wrote about the secondary research in th...

Summary Reader Response Draft 4

According to the article, “Possible to dramatically increase power density in wind farms with SeaTwirl’s vertical axis turbines,'' published on Seatwirl by Johansson (2022), in wind farm designs, Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) outperformed Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWTs) with their power density, faster wake recovery and a better turbulence intensity. SeaTwirl enlisted Dr. Pablo Ouro from the University of Manchester to conduct research on the optimal wind farm configuration of 25 turbines of 10 MW each arranged in five rows (Johansson, 2022).  They found out that slender VAWTs are able to reach the power density 19 MW/km2, better than the 2.65 MW/km2 of typical HAWT setups (Johansson, 2022). The offshore VAWT has wind blades attached to the turbine body, an energy converter, a buoyant turbine body consisting of a buoyancy-providing and ballast portion, and a water movement-based braking arrangement (Ehrnberg, 2020). Functionally, the energy converter converts kineti...

According to the article “ Possible to dramatically increase power density in wind farms with SeaTwirl’s vertical axis turbines'' published on Seatwirl (Johansson, 2022), it states that in wind farm designs, Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) outperformed Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWTs) due to their superior power density, quicker wake recovery, and increased turbulence generation. SeaTwirl enlisted Dr. Pablo Ouro from the University of Manchester to conduct research on optimal wind farm configurations, featuring 25 turbines of 10 MW each arranged in five rows. They observe that the slender VAWTs, taller with a smaller diameter, achieved a remarkable power density of nearly 19 MW/km2, surpassing the 2.65 MW/km2 of typical HAWT setups. The offshore VAWT has wind blades attached to the turbine body, an energy converter, a buoyant turbine body consisting of a buoyancy-providing and ballast portion, and a water movement based braking arrangement (Ehrnberg, 2020).
