I think the idea of connecting wind turbines directly to hydrogen electrolysers when they are producing an excess is an interesting idea.

Stops the power being wasted ( though obviously hydrogen generation is less efficient than direct use ), and also creates a stored form of the energy for less windy days.

BTW also not suggest a hydrogen everywhere energy economy - use it centrally to augment/replace gas powered backup.
