“…According to the statistics of the National Energy Administration of China, from 2011 to 2018, China's cumulative wind power curtailed totaled 215.1 billion kWh, suffering an economic loss of 116.5 billion yuan, and the average annual wind surplus ratio is as high as 12.89%. If energy storage systems are connected to the wind farms to shave the peak load, the electricity operators can better ensure the wind power output stability and improve the power output quality (Apostolou and Enevoldsen 2019). The hydrogen-based energy storage system (HESS) provides a reasonable solution for wind power generation flaws-excess wind power can render the energy storage system.…”

Alongside the rapid expansion of wind power installation in China, wind curtailment is also mounting rapidly due to China’s energy endowment imbalance. The hydrogen-based wind-energy storage system becomes an alternative to solve the puzzle of wind power surplus. This article introduced China’s energy storage industry development and summarized the advantages of hydrogen-based wind-energy storage systems. From the perspective of resource conservation, it estimated the environmental benefits of hydrogen-based wind-energy storages. This research also builds a valuation model based on the Real Options Theory to capture the distinctive flexible charging and discharging features of the hydrogen-based wind-energy storage systems. Based on the model, simulation results, including the investment value and operation decision of the hydrogen energy storage system with different electricity prices, system parameters, and different levels of subsidies, are presented. The results show that the hydrogen storage system fed with the surplus wind power can annually save approximately 2.19–3.29 million tons of standard coal consumption. It will reduce 3.31–4.97 million tons of CO2, SO2, NOx, and PM, saving as much as 286.6–429.8 million yuan of environmental cost annually on average. The hydrogen-based wind-energy storage system’s value depends on the construction investment and operating costs and is also affected by the mean-reverting nature and jumps or spikes in electricity prices. The market-oriented reform of China’s power sector is conducive to improve hydrogen-based wind-energy storage systems’ profitability. At present, subsidies are still essential to reduce initial investment and attract enterprises to participate in hydrogen energy storage projects.

“…Therefore, hydrogen energy can promote the development of the existing energy system to a newer and more optimized direction. The interconnection and interaction of renewable energy and hydrogen-electric secondary energy networks will become a major trend in future energy utilization (Apostolou and Enevoldsen, 2019; Bao et al., 2020; Kadri et al., 2020; Widera, 2020). Hydrogen, as a clean and low-carbon new energy, can help the difficult-to-decarbonize industry to achieve the goal of carbon emission reduction; hydrogen energy has enriched the way of renewable energy storage at a lower cost, which can help renewable energy to regulate energy fluctuations and promote energy Diversified structure and security of energy supply.…”

The hydrogen energy system based on the multi-energy complementary of renewable energy can improve the consumption of renewable energy, reduce the adverse impact on the power grid system, and has the characteristics of green, low carbon, sustainable, etc., which is currently a global research hotspot. Based on the basic principles of hydrogen production technology, this paper introduces the current hydrogen energy system topology, and summarizes the technical advantages of renewable energy complementary hydrogen production and the complementary system energy coordination forms. The problems that have been solved or reached consensus are summarized, and the current status of hydrogen energy system research at home and abroad is introduced in detail. On this basis, the key technologies of multi-energy complementation of hydrogen energy system are elaborated, especially in-depth research and discussion on coordinated control strategies, energy storage and capacity allocation, energy management, and electrolysis water hydrogen production technology. The development trend of the multi-energy complementary system and the hydrogen energy industry chain is also presented, which provides a reference for the development of hydrogen production technology and hydrogen energy utilization of the renewable energy complementary system.

“…When electricity is needed for peak loads, fuel cells (FCs) can produce electricity from a chemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen. It is commonly accepted that hydrogen-based storage systems are very effective owing to their high energy density and safety [5]. The investigations in references [6], [7] explored the benefits of wind-hydrogen energy systems to stabilize the power supply.…”
