Energy advancements and integration strategies in hydrogen and battery storage for renewable energy systems.

The long term and large scale energy storage operations require quick response time and round-trip efficiency, which are not feasible with conventional battery systems. To address this issue while endorsing high energy density, long term storage, and grid adaptability, the hydrogen energy storage (HES) is preferred. This proposed work makes a comprehensive review on HES while synthesizing recent research on energy storage technologies and integration into renewable energy (RE) applications. The proposed research also identifies critical challenges related to system optimization, energy management strategies, and economic viability while featuring emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for energy management. The proposed survey also discusses key advancements in battery technologies (lithium-ion, Ni-Cd, Ni/MH, and flow batteries) that are examined alongside innovations in HES methods. The proposed survey utilizes an extensive list of publications to date in the open literature to canvass and portray various developments in this area.
