For grid frequency regulation on a larger project you might want to look
at Beacon Power flywheels. They produce a large carbon fiber flywheel
that can put out as much as 250 kW for short periods of time. It isn't a
long term storage solution - more like a huge capacitor. They list cloud
mitigation for PV as an application, as well as ramp mitigation for wind.
