The most compelling use case for excess energy is to store it. There's a big research area in developing batteries for temporary grid storage. Compared to standard batteries, the goal is to trade off weight for cost, so that it's practical to capture the delta between {peak demand, actual demand}. See [1] for such a battery.

- Intermernet 13y agoThanks for that link, I hadn't seen that before. It seems similar (with different materials) to LMBC's (Now Ambri, http://www.ambri.com/ http://www.ambri.com/ ) battery tech. Are these things actually rolling out yet? Anyone know of any large scale deployments of this (or similar) tech ongoing, or planned for the near future?
