There could be different approaches: (i) convert to gas and store it in caverns, (ii) store it in batteries, (iii) store it in pumped hydro in Norway, (iv) turn up the load in the system, e.g., electricity-demanding processes like aluminium smeltering, (v) distribute it along High voltage DC lines to distant places with lower renewable energy output and probably a shitload of other parameters that can be tuned.
The power grid is already a giant distributed control system and that‘s only going to increase in the future. Really interesting stuff.
