What is it about?
The hydrogen production technology by wind power is an effective mean to improve the utilization of wind energy and alleviate the problem of wind power curtailment. Firstly, the basic principles and technical characteristics of the hydrogen production technology by wind power are briefly introduced. Then the history of the development of the hydrogen production technology is reviewed, and on this basis, the wind power hydrogen production system is elaborated in detail. In addition, the prospect of the application of the wind power hydrogen production technology is analyzed and discussed. In the end, the key technology of the wind power hydrogen production and the problems to be solved are comprehensively reviewed. The development of hydrogen production technology in wind power is analyzed from many aspects, which provides reference for future development of wind power hydrogen production technology.

Why is it important?
Fossil fuel has become the main source of energy for human beings. As human consumption of fossil fuels increases year by year, environmental problems and global warming are getting worse. With the development of energy, clean energy is gradually replacing fossil energy. In the three energy revolution of history, there is a regularity: the content of carbon is reduced and the content of hydrogen is increased, the atomic number ratio of carbon to hydrogen is becoming larger from coal (1:1) to oil (1:2) and natural gas(1:4), decarburization is accelerating and hydrogen content is getting larger. It has become a natural law and the trend of energy development and utilization. As a new energy of zero-carbon, hydrogen energy has the characteristics of environmental safety, high energy density, high conversion efficiency, abundant reserves and wide application. The hydrogen is zero discharge and zero pollution, it is the most promising alternative energy source. Hydrogen energy time is a time of hydrogen as the main energy source, it is an ideal energy time, natural gas is used as a transitional energy in the time of hydrogen energy, and hydrogen will become the main and absolute clean energy in the future of human society.
Perspectives
In this paper, the development of hydrogen production technology by wind power is deeply analyzed and summarized. On the one hand, the hydrogen production technology can improve the "abandoned wind" problem of wind power generation. On the other hand, hydrogen energy, as a clean and efficient energy, has a great potential for application at present. Hydrogen is an important industrial gas and special gas, and it is widely used in many industries. In the era of green development, hydrogen energy, as a kind of clean energy, is expected to be greatly developed. The development of hydrogen production is still facing many key problems, such as mature wind turbine structure, optimization of electrolyzer for wind power fluctuation, high life fuel cell and large capacity hydrogen storage equipment.
