Preview Questions Smart Grid Specialist | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: How do you handle the cybersecurity risks associated with advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) in a smart grid?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By focusing on physical security without securing data transmission

By excluding AMI systems from grid communication to reduce risk

By using end-to-end encryption, strong authentication, and secure communication protocols in AMI systems

By assuming AMI systems will not be targeted by cyber-attacks

Question 2: How do you manage the cybersecurity risk of third-party vendors accessing critical smart grid systems?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By enforcing strict vendor access controls, conducting security audits, and requiring compliance with security standards

By excluding third-party vendors from accessing smart grid systems

By assuming third-party vendors will ensure their own cybersecurity

By allowing unrestricted access to vendors to speed up implementation

Question 3: In the context of smart grid communication, what is network slicing and how does it benefit grid optimization?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It eliminates the need for multiple devices to communicate with the central grid by relying on a single network path

It reduces the network capacity by limiting the number of virtual network slices available

It combines multiple physical networks into a single communication path to reduce data congestion

It allows for the creation of virtual networks tailored to specific needs, ensuring efficient data traffic management

Question 4: How does a communication network in a Smart Grid ensure real-time data transfer for grid optimization?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By using low-frequency radio waves for long-distance communication

By using satellite communication for data transmission

By relying on traditional analog communication systems

By using high-speed, low-latency communication protocols such as fiber-optic networks

Question 5: What is the role of cloud computing in Smart Grid systems?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To store and process vast amounts of grid data in real-time

To enhance the hardware capabilities of the physical grid

To enable real-time control of distributed energy systems

To perform offline data analysis for energy optimization

Question 6: How do Smart Grid communication networks assist in monitoring and controlling distributed energy resources (DERs)?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By only monitoring DERs during power outages

By providing real-time data on DER performance, enabling optimal integration and management of these resources

By limiting communication with DERs to reduce network load

By disconnecting DERs during periods of high demand
