The fast-changing trajectory of energy systems toward renewables requires flexible

low-emission technologies that can buffer supply intermittently and offer large-scale energy storage systems. Moreso

hydrogen is increasingly viewed as a multi-scale flexibility resource capable of supporting deep decarbonization in renewable-dominated power systems

yet existing reviews often treat production

storage

and conversion technologies in isolation. Hydrogen offers the ability to convert

store and reconvert energy on various timescales. This review critically analyses the current literature of hydrogen production and storage in relation to power systems integration

synthesizing technical

economic and operational advances. The study synthesizes recent advances in electrolysis

particularly PEM and hightemperature SOEC systems

together with emerging PEC routes

biomass-to-hydrogen processes

and long-duration storage technologies.It considers

for storage

the performance and maturity of compressed gas

liquid hydrogen

metal and complex hydrides

liquid organic hydrogen carriers

and geological formations. Integration studies show that the value of hydrogen is enhanced as the share of renewables increases

providing seasonal storage

grid balancing

and sector coupling via power-to-hydrogen-to-power configurations.Yet technical

economic and other hurdles such as conversion losses

infrastructure requirements

and safety considerations are still holding back widespread implementation. The review also underlines the value of policy frameworks

such as country-level hydrogen strategies

carbon pricing

tax incentives

and harmonized safety standards to speed up adoption and reduce barriers to costs. The review synthesizes offer planners

operators

and policymakers a clear roadmap for aligning hydrogen deployment strategies with evolving technical requirements and high-renewable power-system conditions. By summarizing what is known and discussing opportunities for the future

this review is intended to be a roadmap towards maximizing hydrogen in reaching a flexible

resilient and carbon free power system.
