The problem is similar to solar; matching production to demand.
You can use other sources to replace shortfalls, but the surplus is hard to deal with; you need a lot of really big batteries.

There are some ways around that; using the xs to pump water into a reservoir, making hydrogen, using it to compress air.
Even electric vehicles... use solar to charge them during the day, and run some of that back into the grid at night. At least, that is the theory.
Or, a world grid; send it all over the world; but you lose a lot during transmission.
