Here’s a crazy idea. Batteries? https://cleantechnica.com/2018/08/06/analysis-reveals-that-worlds-largest-battery-saves-south-australia-8-9-million-in-6-months/

  They can't magically make national grid grade batteries overnight. So, yes, at the moment it's a crazy idea. The whole point of the trials in Australia and places is to get it to work at the scale needed. You can't just plug in 1,000,000 rechargeable batteries and hope it works.

    You'd probably be better off with water pumps to put water back behind a hydro dam. If you assume the presence of hydro, it's a pretty cheap battery to lift water back up.
