Preview Questions Energy Researcher | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: What is the key advantage of floating solar photovoltaic (FPV) systems over traditional ground-mounted systems?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

FPV systems have higher energy efficiency due to increased ambient cooling from water

FPV systems reduce land usage and can be deployed on bodies of water, optimizing space

FPV systems have lower installation costs than traditional systems

FPV systems require less maintenance than ground-mounted solar panels

Question 2: Which of the following best describes the environmental impact of geothermal energy production during an EIA?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Impact on local wildlife due to construction activities near sensitive areas

Potential for ground subsidence and changes in local landforms, as well as the release of gases from the Earth's crust

Increased energy demand and the need for additional transmission infrastructure

Pollution of groundwater sources from the geothermal extraction process

Question 3: What is the primary advantage of using thin-film solar cells over traditional silicon-based cells?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Better performance in low-light conditions

Higher efficiency

Higher temperature tolerance

Flexibility and lower material costs

Question 4: How do energy subsidies impact the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy in policy development?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Subsidies for fossil fuels can delay the transition by making renewables less competitive without government support

Fossil fuel subsidies encourage higher energy efficiency and reduce the need for renewables

Subsidies create an immediate shift to renewable energy, bypassing market dynamics

Subsidies for renewable energy have no effect on fossil fuel dependency

Question 5: How do you deal with missing data in large energy datasets to ensure the robustness of your analysis?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By replacing missing data with zero

By using data imputation techniques such as interpolation or regression

By ignoring the missing values and proceeding with analysis

By discarding rows with missing data

Question 6: In wind energy systems, which factor most directly influences the capacity factor?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Blade length

Hub height

Wind speed fluctuations

Air pressure
