The best use right now IMHO is capacity leveling at the grid level. With a VRB, an electricity provider can downsize its capacity from supplying peak levels from a generator and instead run 24/7 and dispense power at peak from the battery stored at off-peak times.

Actually there are lots, but this is the one that will have ridiculou$ benefits.

The VRB for large scale wind storage seems like a bit of a red herring to me as many of those wind projects tap directly into the grid anyway. On a residential level, it makes sense though.

Yes, conventional power plants will also require a means to level the loads on the electric power grid. Hopefully the VRB will be the dominate system to help in that respect.

Also the recent spate of earthquakes, especially yesterday's 9.2 Magnitude Japanese Quake will put further demand on Vanadium as a structural steel strengthener.
