Abstract: Large-scale development and utilization of renewable energy such as wind power has become the consensus of many countries for the clean and low-carbon energy transition. However, shortcomings of short-term fluctuations and intermittent have limited its application in high wind power penetration or isolated grid systems. Coupled wind power and hydrogen systems can take advantages of long-term large-scale hydrogen energy storage and diversified product output, and play a pivotal role in the future development and utilization of wind power. This article summarized the development status of coupled wind power and hydrogen systems in the past two decades, evaluated the application effect and economic efficiency of grid-connected and off-grid systems, and then proposed development directions in system optimization design, operation strategy formulation, and life-cycle technology economic evaluation. Finally, we proposed suitable routes for our country based on resource endowment and regional characteristics.
