1. The signal conditioning stage in context to smart metering may include


a) Addition/subtraction
b) Attenuation/amplification
c) Filtering
d) All of these

Reason: The signal conditioning stage may include Addition/subtraction,


Attenuation/amplification and Filtering.

2. ___________ acquires data from the devices with data communications capabilities via
communication port(s).
a) Central RTDB
b) DCA
c) DPA
d) DTA

Reason: DCA acquires data from the devices with data communications capabilities via
communication port(s).

3. _________ of solar cell was developed to address energy requirements and production costs
of solar cells.
a) First generation
b) Second generation
c) Third generation
d) None of these

Reason: Second Generation of solar cell was developed to address energy requirements and
production costs of solar cells.

4. The rotor windings are fed via a back-to-back converter system in a bidirectional feedback
loop in
a) Fixed Speed Wind Turbine Generators
b) Synchronous Generator with In-Line Frequency Control
c) Doubly Fed Induction Generator
d) None of these

Reason: The DFIG system consists of a 3-phase wound rotor generator with its stator windings fed
from the grid and its rotor windings fed via a back-to-back converter system in a bidirectional
feedback loop taking power either from the grid to the generator or from the generator to the grid.

5. The Kinetic energy available of wind in motion is proportional to ___ of the wind speed.
a) Square root power of two
b) Square root power of three
c) Square power
d) Cube power

Reason: E=0.5*m*(v^2)

6. ______ monitors and breaks the feeder circuit if the current exceeds a preset threshold.
a) Reclosers
b) Switches
c) Collector
d) None of these

Reason: A recloser monitors and breaks the feeder circuit if the current exceeds a preset threshold.

7. Which of the following SCADA components interfaces with all other software modules?
a) Central RTDB
b) DCA
c) DPA
d) DTA

Reason: Central RTDB that interfaces with all other software modules.

8. In PV systems, the PV array corresponds to _____ of the cost.


a) 27%
b) 37%
c) 47%
d) 57%

Reason: In PV systems, the PV array represents about 57 % of the total cost of the system.

9. The main impact of series resistance is:


a) Power loss
b) Increase fill factor
c) Reduce fill factor
d) Reduce SC current

Reason: The main impact of series resistance is to reduce the fill factor, although excessively high
values may also reduce the short-circuit current.

10. Solar Charge Controllers do not:


a) Prevents battery overcharge
b) Allow reverse current
c) Prevent electrical overload
d) Display battery status

Reason: Solar Charge Controllers Prevents battery overcharge, Blocks reverse current, Prevent over-
discharge from batteries (some models), Prevent electrical overload (some models) and Displays
battery status.
