description This paper proposes a novel optimal control method for integrated systems of Wind farms (WFs) and hydrogen production systems (HPSs). Green hydrogen production via renewable power generation (RPG), such as wind power generation, is a promising technology to overcome environmental problems. RPG has the potential to become more widespread if we can produce hydrogen in an HPS using the output fluctuation and the output surplus of RPG, which cause power outages due to supply-demand imbalances. The proposed optimal control maximizes the capacity factor of HPS while producing hydrogen constantly and satisfying the technical requirement related to the output fluctuation of the WF. The proposed control is also easy to implement and needs no WF output forecast. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed optimal control through simulated comparative analysis with conventional methods.
