The absolute value of reactive power is the amplitude of that oscillation of energy. | |

You really should point out that the energy is being stored and unstored twice per cycle. This is not what is meant by storage on the power grid. It's not like pumping water uphill during low demand times, then using it to run generators during peak times, for example. | |

It's means "it is"; its is the pronoun.
