Abstract: Green hydrogen has emerged as a cornerstone in achieving carbon neutrality, especially within the power and industrial sectors. This study focuses on the integration of wind energy and electrolyzer-based hydrogen production to enhance grid resilience and support frequency regulation. A novel control strategy for managing DC link voltage in electrolyzer-assisted wind turbines is proposed, enabling fast frequency response under varying wind conditions. Utilizing real-world wind speed and grid frequency data from Jamogadrani, Madhya Pradesh, this work evaluates the hydrogen production potential and frequency correction capabilities of the hybrid system. Key findings include the economic and operational viability of prioritizing hydrogen production while supporting grid stability. This paper outlines a pathway for integrating such hybrid systems into India’s renewable energy framework, addressing challenges in frequency regulation and maximizing the utility of renewable resources. The study provides a foundation for policy shifts and technological advancements needed for the successful deployment of wind-hydrogen systems.
