Claim 21:
22. The apparatus of claim 4 wherein:
the one or more thermal storage blocks are included in a first assemblage of multiple thermal storage blocks;
the apparatus further comprises:
a second assemblage of thermal storage blocks; and
a control system configured to:
cause, during a first portion of a first discharge period, a first fluid flow produced from the first assemblage to be mixed with a bypass fluid flow that bypasses the first and second assemblages;
cause, during a second, subsequent portion of the first discharge period, the first fluid flow to be mixed with a second fluid flow produced from the second assemblage, such that the first assemblage, but not the second assemblage, is deeply discharged during the first discharge period;
cause, during a first portion of a second discharge period, the second fluid flow to be mixed with the bypass fluid flow; and
cause, during a second, subsequent portion of the second discharge period, the second fluid flow to be mixed with the first fluid flow such that the second assemblage, but not the first assemblage, is deeply discharged during the second discharge period.
