    Sorry for the naive question, but is it not possible to send the excess electricity to the ground (in the electrical sense)?

      To effectively waste electric power like that would take quite a bit of effort. It would be easier to make a giant heater that heats up air. But that would of course also be absurd. Just turn off the wind turbines etc. to reduce power generation.
