ITPEC FE Subject A April 2026 Question 53
ITPEC FE Subject A April 2026 — Question 53 of 60
A smart grid uses communication and information-processing technology to control power generation and consumption together, so that renewable sources can be absorbed, supply stays stable and demand is adjusted.
The defining idea is a two-way flow: electricity moves in both directions and so does information, letting meters, generators and appliances be coordinated instead of managed one-way from the plant.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- (b) — describes a medical or health support system giving individual advice from similar case data
- (c) — describes telematics / ITS, in-vehicle equipment for traffic and location services
- (d) — describes telework support or groupware, connecting workers with different working styles
Key rule: All four options describe IT applied to a domain; pick by the domain itself. Only one is about electricity.
