Large battery banks would allow demand to "debounced" (smoothed) such that load could be much flatter and more predictable. It would be an adjunct at most, definitely not a replacement because it would be temporary storage. Further, any new tech never replaces the previous completely (just look at DC-power grid for elevators in SF. Records, 8-tracks still exist in a post CD world.)
