The top graph shows how a remote storage system works, as it is linked to renewable power generation. The purple area is the key. When it is above the line, it is charging from excess wind and solar generation, when it is below the line, it is discharging to make up for the lack of renewables.
Notice in the bottom graph how it smooths out the frequency issues for the local grid, which should operate at or close to 50 hertz. The load, in gray, changes little from minute to minute.
