Instead of just electrical storage, electrical usage can be enhanced. How you would do that is certain plug outlets in peoples houses only switch on when there is plenty of electricity from windy or sunny day.
An idea is for electric cars to be plugged into these sockets until one hour before they are needed are transfered to the base loading power. Everything can be done electronically so you don't need two positive and two negative lines to each house.
So when there is excess electricity produced, electric cars and hot water systems turn on and when there is none, they don't use a drop of electricity unless they are needed within a certain time, then it will switch to base power the hour before it is needed. We can literally throw about 30% of our energy usage onto when available if we wanted. i.e. how about a battery backup refridgerator where if it drops below a certain temperature it may use base power, otherwise it uses excess power, clock radios, radios, etc, etc.
