description Hydrogen energy, as a medium for long-term energy storage, needs to ensure the continuous and stable operation of the electrolyzer during the production of green hydrogen using wind energy. In this paper, based on the overall model of a wind power hydrogen production system, an integrated control strategy aimed at improving the quality of wind power generation, smoothing the hydrogen production process, and enhancing the stability of the system is proposed. The strategy combines key measures, such as the maximum power point tracking control of the wind turbine and the adaptive coordinated control of the electrochemical energy storage system, which can not only efficiently utilize the wind resources but also effectively ensure the stability of the bus voltage and the smoothness of the hydrogen production process. The simulation results show that the electrolyzer can operate at full power to produce hydrogen while the energy storage device is charging when wind energy is sufficient; the electrolyzer continuously produces hydrogen according to the wind energy when the wind speed is normal; and the energy storage device will take on the task of maintaining the operation of the electrolyzer when the wind speed is insufficient to ensure the stability and reliability of the system.
