As offshore wind power develops toward larger unit capacities and deeper offshore deployments, its inherent power intermittency poses increasing challenges to system stability and reliable grid integration. To address the issues of large-scale wind power fluctuation and efficient energy utilization, an integrated hydrogen production through offshore superconducting wind power (HPOSWP) system is investigated, which combines high-temperature superconducting (HTS) wind generators with water electrolysis. This paper reviews the operational characteristics of the HPOSWP system under wide power fluctuation conditions, specifically assessing the adaptability of high-power-density HTS wind generators and the feasibility of highly reliable liquid hydrogen (LH2) circulation cooling technologies from a qualitative perspective. This study provides valuable insights into the application of large-scale HPOSWP systems under fluctuating power conditions and establishes a solid theoretical foundation for subsequent system design and engineering implementation.
