I haven't heard of any advancement that makes solar generate energy when the sun doesn't shine and wind generate energy when the wind isn't blowing.
The wind is always blowing somewhere and overproduction is cheaper than batteries
Overproduction is how you get blackouts from damaging the grid
Lol, just dump energy into resistors. Or desync two generators.
Or convert excess to hydrogen and provide resilience, or have arrangements for industry to consume the excess. Or ramp down your generation at those times. Or shift excess to neighbouring grids.
