In several countries, the wind power penetration increased tremendously in recent years. To ensure proper functioning of system, some grid operators already require capability to provide inertial response or primary control with turbines.

Proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyser stands as a promising candidate for sustainable hydrogen production from renewable energy sources (RESs). Given the fluctuating nature of RESs, accurate modelling PEM is crucial.
