None of the following raises a store's round trip efficiency except

  • A.increasing the depth of discharge on each cycle
  • B.increasing the standing time between charge and discharge
  • C.raising the discharge current to shorten the discharge
  • D.reducing the number of energy conversions in the path

Answer: D

Correct answer: reducing the number of energy conversions in the path

Every conversion carries a loss, and the round trip efficiency is the product of them all - which is precisely why hydrogen, with electrolysis, compression and a fuel cell in the chain, does so much worse than a battery with an inverter at each end. The other three all reduce efficiency: deeper discharge and higher current increase the internal losses, and standing time allows self discharge to take its share.
