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.

I'm pretty excited about the potential benefits of flow batteries. Hopefully they can get the tech to work economically for grid storage.
