Abstract: This study addresses the intermittent renewable energy supply and the large footprint of battery storage on an island reef in China by proposing an integrated energy system that incorporates hydrogen production, storage, and utilisation. Mathematical models for wind and photovoltaic power generation, energy storage, hydrogen production and utilisation, diesel generators, and energy management systems are established. Additionally, an integrated energy system is constructed using Simulink software to simulate and analyse its operational characteristics in various seasonal scenarios. The simulation results indicate that the surplus from wind power and photovoltaic systems, after supplying the load for over 70 % of the day, constitutes more than 40 % of the load demand. The energy storage system can maintain a maximum charging rate for more than 50 % of the day and a maximum discharge rate for less than 16.7 % of the day. The electrolysis tank produces hydrogen for more than 71 % of the day and simultaneously consumes up to 750 % of the load. The fuel cell consumes hydrogen for less than 12.5 % of the day and simultaneously provides up to 27 % of the load. Analysis revealed that the hydrogen system improves the energy utilisation, the control strategy realises stable supply and demand within the system.
