Im an eng grad, different types of batteries are useful for different types of storage; The main advantages of the vanadium redox battery are that it can offer almost unlimited capacity simply by using larger storage tanks, it can be left completely discharged for long periods with no ill effects, it can be recharged simply by replacing the electrolyte if no power source is available to charge it, and if the electrolytes are accidentally mixed the battery suffers no permanent damage. The extremely large capacities possible from vanadium redox batteries make them well suited to use in large power storage applications such as helping to average out the production of highly variable generation sources such as wind or solar power, helping generators cope with large surges in demand or leveling out supply/demand at a transmission constrained region. ^^^RENEWABLE ENERGY STORAGE. Easy to find articles on problems with seasonality of wind and solar farms. The limited self-discharge characteristics of vanadium redox batteries make them useful in applications where the batteries must be stored for long periods of time with little maintenance while maintaining a ready state. The batteries are too large currently for consideration for electric cars however the following article is also very promising. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/10/091012135506.htm
