I suspect large-scale fixed installations are more likely to end up using some kind of flow battery:

The big advantage there is independent scaling: peak discharge is tied to the total membrane area / pumping capability while capacity is tied to the amount of reactants that can be stored.
- russdill 8y agoI'm pretty excited about the potential benefits of flow batteries. Hopefully they can get the tech to work economically for grid storage.
