>overbuilding is not a sufficient approach because you still need generation at night

The energy storage provides generation at night, of course.

I said an optimal mix of oversupply and energy storage. You need both.

Your linked paper tries to use only 100% storage and 0% oversupply, which results in very suboptimal economics. The correct approach is to find the cost-optimal mix.
