The vanes are adjustable to control the amount of exhaust that is induced on to the turbine; basically changing the A/R under varying load conditions. One advantage of this is that it allows the compressor to build more boost under low engine speeds and can eliminate the need of a wastegate.
Hydro-powered generators have been using this technology for many years to control the output of a generator.
