Oral Communication March 30, 2023 Assessment 4 Step 1: Using Google or another Search Engine, locate 1 high quality article on a topic of your choice to be used in your Informational Speech. Step 2: Briefly summarize the article (if you can’t remember how, see the link on e-Learning) Step 3: Evaluate the article using the questions in Part 1 Step 4: Analyze each article using the questions in Part 2 Complete each article separately and complete a Works Cited page as the last page. Summary: 1. In the article “How Does Solar Work?” By Energy.gov provides answers to people's questions and concerns about how the process of solar energy conversion works. The websites explain the process in simple terms to the readers about the two main types of solar technology: photovoltaic and concentrating solar thermal power. The cost of installing solar hardware and where it will have to be installed for its best performance is also touched on in the article, the basics, industry information, and other pages on a more detailed explanation is given. https://www.energy.gov/eere/solar/how-does-solar-work#:~:text=When%20the%20sun %20shines%20onto,cell%2C%20causing%20electricity%20to%20flow . 2. Article “MODELLING AND SIMULATION OF SOLAR THERMAL POWER GENERATION NETWORK” by Bowen Wang is a detailed model and description on how solar thermal energy is converted into electricity. The article provides models and calculations on every end of the solar thermal energy process.

Bowen WANG. “Modelling and Simulation of Solar Thermal Power Generation Network.” Thermal Science , vol. 25, no. 4B, May 2021, pp. 2905–12. EBSCOhost , https://doi- org.rcsj.idm.oclc.org/10.2298/TSCI2104905W . 3. Article “MODELLING AND CONTROL OF SOLAR THERMAL POWER GENERATION NETWORK IN SMART GRID” by Ruilian WANG* , Zichao ZHANG, and Xinxu WEI is an article similar to Bowen Wang’s “MODELLING AND SIMULATION OF SOLAR THERMAL POWER GENERATION NETWORK”. The difference between these two articles is the topic of thermal solar power’s control vs. A simulation of it. Ruilian WANG, et al. “Modelling and Control of Solar Thermal Power Generation Network in Smart Grid.” Thermal Science , vol. 25, no. 4B, May 2021, pp. 2861–70. EBSCOhost , https://doi- org.rcsj.idm.oclc.org/10.2298/TSCI2104861W . Part 1 : Analyze each article and then answer questions 1-8 below. 1. Source . What organization sponsors or pays for the Web site? What does this sponsor indicate about the credibility of the site? 1. The article is backed by the United States government's department of energy and has no sponsors. The credibility of the site is backed up by government research. 2. Article “MODELLING AND SIMULATION OF SOLAR THERMAL POWER GENERATION NETWORK” by Bowen Wang is in an online database. The database is provided and paid for by Rowan College of South Jersey. 3. Article “Modelling and control of solar thermal power generation network” is also found on an online database, provided and paid for by Rowan College of South Jersey. 2. Author . Who is the author? What qualifications does the author possess? (research this on the internet) 1. There is no author attached to the article on how solar works, but the work was provided by the office of the U.S department of Energy. 2. Bowen Wang is author to “Modeling and simulation of solar thermal power generation network”. Wang is affiliated and professor at Florida International College located in Miami Fl and specializes in solar energy areas.

3. The third article has three different authors: Ruilian Wang, Ziachao Zhang, and Xinxu Wei. All of which are employed at the North China university of water resources and electric power. 3. Timeliness . When was this site first published online? When was it last updated? Is the argument and information still timely? 1. No publishing date is provided on the article, I assume that the article is updated when needed by the U.S department of energy. The information on the process of solar power is still timely based on the growing popularity of clean energy in the world to cut pollution from fossil fueled energy. 2. The article was first published online in May 2021, and is also published in a thermal science book. It has not been updated since, due to the article only being two years old and the increasing interest in clean energy, the text is still relevant today. 3. Article was also published at the same time as the second article, May 2021. It has not been updated since. Information is still timely and relevant today due to the boom of clean electricity. 4. Evidence . Where does the author’s evidence come from? Does the evidence adequately support the author’s claims? 1.Evidence on how solar energy works is provided by the solar energy technology office from the U.S department of energy. 2. Wang’s evidence on solar energy comes from a variety of references listed at the bottom of his article. These references do support the outcomes of his own models and research. 3. Article “Modelling and control of solar thermal power generation network” evidence comes from their own research and calculations, which supports the authors claims. 5. Bias . Can you detect particular biases of the author? How do the author’s biases affect his or her arguments and conclusions? 1.There is no bias detected in the article, there is no topic on other sources of energy or how solar compares to fossil fuels.

2. The author provides reasoning on how solar thermal power is effective and ineffective in creating power. Wang effectively uses information for both sides to back up his argument and conclusions. 3. The authors back their arguments up with evidence from their research. 6. References . Are references provided for information given on the site? If so, who considers these references reputable? 1.The website provides further references on the topics discussed. The U.S department of energy has provided them. 2. References are provided at the bottom of Wang’s article. Wang himself and his affiliates considered the references reputable when they decided to include them in his work. 3. There are multiple references given at the bottom of Article “Modelling and control of solar thermal power generation network” page. 7. Links . Are there links to additional information? Do the links work? Is the linked information reliable? Do these links offer further insight into the author’s biases? 1.There are links to further information added on the website, the links are a more detailed approach to the topics discussed. The links are only on solar energy and how they work and can benefit, therefore adding no bias. 2. There is a single link provided on Wang’s article. The link is to the original scientific paper that this article is based off. The provided link gives further reasoning on the credibility of the article. 3. Like the second article, the third article also has a link to the original scientific paper that the given article is based off. 8. Advertising . Is the Web site an advertisement for a product, place, or service? If so, how does this affect the credibility of the site? 1.The website has no advertisements.

2. There are no advertisements on Bowen Wang’s article. 3. No advertisements are shown on article Article “Modelling and control of solar thermal power generation network”. Part 2: After you answer the above questions 1-8 answer the following questions to determine the validity and usefulness of your information. 9. Should you use this source? If so, how will it support your project? What information will you use from this source and why will you use it? 1.Yes, I plan to use this source, it will support my work by introducing the topic in simple understandable terms to then work the speech into a more detailed version of itself. From the article I will use basic information on solar-thermal power. 2. Bowen Wang’s article “Modeling and simulation of solar thermal power generation network” will be used in my project, it will be used to further deepen the explanation on the process of thermal solar power converted to electricity. I will mention the models. 3. Article “Modelling and control of solar thermal power generation network” will be presented very little in my work due to its similarity to the second article I have listed on this document.
