Offshore Wind Presentation

Question 1

What is the purpose of Automated Generation Controls (AGC) in a grid tied system?
• Allowing an operator to modify generator power output
• Controlling the generator outputs to match the load
• Automatically switching off the power if the generation supply is too low
• Calculating the cost of energy from the grid based on supply and demand

Answer 1

Controlling the generator outputs to match the load

Question 2

What are the Department of Energy’s 3 main priorities to protect against cyber-attacks?
• Increase talent acquisition, daily threat briefings, and invest in R&D
• Separate private and government energy generation, encryption of all wireless communication, and coordinated response and recovery protocol
• Strengthen preparedness, separate private and government energy generation, and coordinated response and recovery protocol
• Strengthen preparedness, coordinate response and recovery protocol, and invest in R&D

Answer 2

Strengthen preparedness, coordinate response and recovery protocol, and invest in R&D

Question 3

Capacity Credit of an energy source is defined as…
• The ratio of actual energy produced by an energy generating system to the load applied to the unit
• The ratio of the load applied to an energy generating system to the actual energy produced
• The ratio of actual energy produced by an energy generating system in a given period, to the hypothetical maximum possible
• The ratio of hypothetical maximum possible generation of an energy generating system to the actual energy produced in a given period

Answer 3

The ratio of actual energy produced by an energy generating system in a given period, to the hypothetical maximum possible

Question 4
