From the paper, the proposed technologies are:
"Key elements of the solution applicable to different cases are to (1) produce heat directly
from solar and geothermal heat resources and from electricity; (2) store electricity as heat
after current electricity demand is satisfied and electricity storage is full; (3) if thermal
energy storage is used, store excess heat in water and underground rocks when current heat
demand is satisfied; (4) if thermal energy storage is used, produce cold directly from
electricity and store excess cold in water and ice; (5) produce hydrogen from excess
electricity after all electricity and heat storage are full, and store excess hydrogen; (6) store
excess CSP electricity in a phase-change material and remaining excess electricity either in
pumped-hydro storage, as heat in underground rocks, or as hydrogen; (7) increase the
maximum discharge rates of CSP, the number of batteries, or the maximum discharge rate
of hydropower (while keeping its annual energy production constant) to help meet peaks in
demand; (8) use heat pumps for cold and low-temperature heat loads wherever possible; and
(9) use demand response for some loads to reduce peaks in load."
