  "textContent": "“Purely electrical” solutions to power oscillations involve expensive storage techniques (e.g., batteries and/or capacitors) or wasted energy in “dummy loads” (e.g., resistive banks and/or heaters). Some power delivery systems may incorporate flow batteries as part of the energy storage and delivery solution, particularly using piped electrolyte to distribute power directly to storage racks. For longer duration fluctuations in power consumption, flow batteries may store power during off-peak demand periods and release power during peak demand periods. However, flow batteries typically do not react fast enough to compensate for rapid fluctuations in power consumption. The presently disclosed technology utilizes the pipework of electrolyte distribution systems in place for the flow battery as a distributed electrolytic capacitor. This form of “fast” energy storage is ideally suited to complement “slow” chemical energy storage of a flow battery and is thus capable of acting as a power-smoothing solution and a UPS supplement or replacement.",
