Directions: Read the attached case study and try to have at least two responses for each “W” Protocol.
Wow – What really stood out for you about the
information shared in the case study?
Wonder – What additional questions do you have
about the information shared in the case study?
1.
I am amazed at by the amount of carbon dioxide
that is reduced yearly by using their solar power
system. This is greatly because the ozone layer
being reduced every year is a big problem which
carbon dioxide contributes mostly to.
4.
2.
What greatly impress me is the security and
surveillance system that was put into place. When
running such an high-tech facility security
becomes the biggest problem. If it is not
completely secure with all possible method, the
loss of investment will be immense.
I was wondering since this solar farm is
expected to generate enough clean energy to
power 75000 household, will this be slowly
implemented in different parts of the country to
become a country running mostly on solar
power. I would recommend it because of the hot
climate of Saudi Arabia and there are a lot of
unused land.
5.
If different countries around the world would
implement this solar farm method, would we
see a slow decrease in the depletion of the
ozone layer. I think this is a good chance as
there are a lot of countries with suitable climate
for it and it would reduced the dependency of
fossil fuel.
6.
I wonder why the demo setup was used at such
a large scale over the entire facility, as since it is
a demo if one problem occurred it would have
affected the entire facility. I believe
implementing the system at a slower pace
section by section would have been the most
secured way as if a problem occur it would not
affect the entire system.
3.
I am impress by their fast thinking and good
strategy methods that the team used overcome the
adverse effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and still
be able to perform instillation and commission the
solar farm. The team use remote connectivity with
different safety procedures in place to prevent the
use of hacking really wow me.

Worry – What do you worry about with the
information shared in the case study?
7.
Because of covid-19 restrictions causing the
engineers to not be on site, I worry that personnel
supervising the solar plant system are not trained
enough to tackle problems that may arise at the
solar farm. This can be detrimental as previous
investments would be wasted and more capital
would have to be introduce to fix the damage that
got out of control.
8.
I worry that having the integrated security system
(ISS) at only one control room could become a
security risk and a serious liability. This is because
having one control increases the risk information
blockage if any foul play is present. In such a huge
and very important facility it is best to have more
that one control room with ISS because specific
sections can be watched in more detail preventing
problems from occurring.
Wish – What would you like to see happen (wish
for) based on the information shared in the case
study?
9. My wish is to see countries around the world
implementing this solar farm as it can be seen
recently that global warming is becoming a
greater threat to the environment. Increase in
wildfires due to high temperatures, raise in sea
level due to polar cap melting causing floods
and extreme weather occurrences that are
becoming more frequent. Implementing solar
farm across the world would lessen this
problem.
10. Another wish of mine is to see a more data
storage and collection methods. This is because
every detail about the operation and functioning
of the system can help to predict future
problems before they occur. This will save the
company a lot of capital and resources if the
problems are found in advance.
