To achieve a more ecologically friendly energy transition by the year 2050 under the European “green” accord, hydrogen has recently gained significant scientific interest due to its efficiency as an energy carrier. This paper focuses on large-scale hydrogen production systems based on marine renewable-energy-based wind turbines and tidal turbines. The paper reviews the different technologies of hydrogen production using water electrolyzers, energy storage unit base hydrogen vectors, and fuel cells (FC). The focus is on large-scale hydrogen production systems using marine renewable energies. This study compares electrolyzers, energy storage units, and FC technologies, with the main factors considered being cost, sustainability, and efficiency. Furthermore, a review of aging models of electrolyzers and FCs based on electrical circuit models is drawn from the literature and presented, including characterization methods of the model components and the parameters extraction methods, using a dynamic current profile. In addition, industrial projects for producing hydrogen from renewable energies that have already been completed or are now in progress are examined. The paper is concluded through a summary of recent hydrogen production and energy storage advances, as well as some applications. Perspectives on enhancing the sustainability and efficiency of hydrogen production systems are also proposed and discussed. This paper provides a review of behavioral aging models of electrolyzers and FCs when integrated into hydrogen production systems, as this is crucial for their successful deployment in an ever-changing energy context. We also review the EU’s potential for renewable energy analysis. In summary, this study provides valuable information for research and industry stakeholders aiming to promote a sustainable and environmentally friendly energy transition.

Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) have several merits over the other fuel cells like low operating temperature, high power density, light weight, and robustness, fitting them in a wide variety of green energy applications. The most important application area of the PEMFC is hydrogen cars (Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles – FCEV), stationary and portable hydrogen power systems. Throughout the presented research work the complete three cycles of the fuel cell control are presented which are the control system, the FCEV control and the AI based metaheuristic optimization. The presented algorithm includes the PI controller – PI-based HHO-PI-based AEO-PI-based GWO-PI-based PSO. An objective statistical comparison among the presented algorithms to select the best one of them according to perfect criteria.
