Résumé

Abstract
Given the decline in fossil energy reserves and the need for less pollution, achieving carbon zero is challenging in major industrial sectors. However, the emergence of large-scale hydrogen production systems powered by renewable energy sources offers an achievable option for carbon neutrality in specific applications. When combined with energy storage systems, static power converters are crucial in these production systems. This paper offers a comprehensive review of various power converter topologies, focusing on AC– and DC–bus architectures that interface battery storage units, electrolyzers, and fuel cells. The evaluation of DC/AC, AC/DC, and DC/DC converter topologies, considering cost, energy efficiency, control complexity, power level suitability, and power quality, represents a significant advancement in the field. Furthermore, the subsequent exploration of battery aging behavioral modeling, characterization methods, and real-time parameter estimation of the battery’s equivalent electrical circuit model enhances our understanding of these systems. Large-scale hydrogen production systems most often use an AC–bus architecture. However, DC–bus configuration offers advantages over AC–bus architecture, including high efficiency, simpler energy management, and lower system costs. In addition, MVDC or HVDC DC/DC converters, including isolated and non-isolated designs based on multiple cascaded DABs and MMC-type topologies, have also been studied to adapt the DC–bus to loads. Finally, this work summarizes several battery energy storage projects in the European Union, specifically supporting the large-scale integration of renewable energy sources. It also provides recommendations, discussion results, and future research perspectives from this study.
