A quick calculation suggests the efficiency of ITM's electrolyser in optimal conditions is about 50% - 36kg of 33kWh/kg H2 at 20 bar for 2.35MWh input. I guess performance fall off is dramatic because their grid solution simply employs lots of these units, rather than attempting to scale up. The idea will be to use only those that can be used efficiently if the supply is less than plant capacity, but of course the marginal units employed will be at suboptimal operating regimes because they will be being switched in and out as power input fluctuates. Extra power for compression to pipeline pressures or storage pressures (they offer 350bar and 700 bar for H2 vehicles) will eat into that.
Batteries can be used as smoothing capacitors, but with say at best 80% round trip efficiency for adding them it suggests that to be viable the avoided performance drop in the electrolysers is substantial.

I used to use an underground car park at our building when I was working in Houston. I understood why open lots on the fringe of Downtown were as little as $1.50 a day even when no more than 3 blocks from an entry to the tunnel system - the air conditioned haven with its food courts, shopping and connection to most of the larger office blocks. We had a summer with 2 months of daily 100F + temperatures. I was very grateful for the rental Buick which had truly amazing A/C that would cool the car to 70F in the time it took to get to the start of Memorial Drive, about 2 minutes from the parking exit. Drove like a boat though, with very soft suspension.

I was walking the Via Appia and on my way to camp at night (2014 ?)
I was in the middle of nowhere and thought what the Fk is this bright light
and it was a small football field area of solar panels
And no one was there working
no maintenance blokes etc.

There's a lot of loot swilling around the hydrogen game.

soooo....
direct approach or FoI ?
It does rather seem that we've stumbled across a rather well funded BIES project with no apparent interim performance reporting ...
I saw the "haven't cheated" and thought - Spanish Nocturnal Solar Power - I can confess now ....

Earlier on Idau commented: "At least if they haven't cheated by using grid power."
Looking at the figures, it looks very likely that most of the power comes from the grid. The turbine is rated at 225 kW. ITM's smallest electrolyser draws 700 kW at full output, before compression.
Unless the ITM built a special, one-off package, there is nowhere near enough "green" power to run the electrolyser efficiently. Indeed I've got a vague idea that those things don't run at low power levels.
Maybe there is another source of green power which has not been mentioned. Otherwise most of the power for the H2 comes from the grid.

UPS Systems has completed the fuel cell installation for the Environmental Energy Technology Centre (EETC) in Rotherham, bringing this iconic, carbon-free building one step closer to completion.
UPS Systems has installed three 12kW Hydrogenics fuel cells into the Hydrogen Mini Grid System (HMGS), along with nine inverters, three 168Ahr batteries and supervisory software to control the system. Both the fuel cells and batteries have been mounted in matching racks to reduce the space they occupy and make the installation more aesthetically pleasing.The HMGS has been developed by energy consultancy, TNEI Services Ltd and hydrogen specialists the Pure Energy Centre and is designed to produce and store ‘green’ hydrogen energy generated by a 225kW wind turbine to power the EETC and make it self sufficient.
The EETC is due to open in early 2010. Once complete its goal is to encourage the development and commercialisation of environmental energy technologies.
UPS Systems Managing Director Tom Sperrey said: "The creation of the Hydrogen Mini Grid System is an exciting development for fuel cell technology. Generating hydrogen onsite through renewable energy sources such as wind helps to make fuel cells a greener solution. Although this is not the first fuel cell installation where we have had to integrate multiple sources of energy, it raised several new technical challenges that our fuel cell technical team successfully addressed."
Dr Jason Stoyel, Technical Manager at TNEI and HMGS project manager said: "In putting together the team to deliver this ground breaking project, we wanted to work with companies that could deliver innovative solutions and systems. UPS Systems has not disappointed and with the installation of the fuel cell we are one step closer to on-site generation of ‘green’ hydrogen."

ooh... the plot thickens....
It trivially looks like the The Environmental Energy Technology Centre (EETC) building with the H2 filling hose on the side is an outpost of BEIS :-) - as in BEIS seem to be the owners of the EETC site / building.
A business park in Yorkshire will be the first location in the UK to trial hydrogen fuel cell technology as a means of powering day-to-day systems such as computers, telephones and printers.The Environmental Energy Technology Centre (EETC), located at the Advanced Manufacturing Park in Rotherham, will use Europe's largest capacity Hydrogen Mini-Grid System (HMGS) - developed by Pure Energy in the Shetlands and the energy consultancy TNEI - as a primary power source to the building.
The system uses renewable energy produced by a 225kW wind turbine, which will produce over 500MWh of electricity each year, enabling the EETC to be self-sufficient for power.
"The HMGS is at present the largest wind-to-hydrogen installation in the UK and is the first to incorporate both the ability to dispense high pressure hydrogen for vehicle refuelling as well as a fuel cell to generate electricity," said Dr Jason Stoyel, technical manager at energy services consultancy TNEI.
Specialist power equipment company UPS Systems will also provide the EETC with a 30kW power system comprising nine inverters, three 12kW fuel cells, 240Ah batteries and supervisory software to control and regulate the system.
"This project will prove to be important in the progression of hydrogen and fuel cell technology as viable alternative sources of energy," said Tom Sperrey, managing director of UPS Systems.
On particularly windy days, there is potential to produce surplus energy, which will be sold back into the National Grid network, offsetting some of the cost of the equipment. Excess Hydrogen can then be stored for use at a later date.
I've not found anything related to the performance of the setup - but the building was no expense spared sustainable item - so it'll likely be bristling with computers and Building Management logging sensors and such....
Be about time to see how the fuel cells are aging? (2008 install)
It looks like the local council spaffed £70k on a hydrogen vehicle to fill from the site too.....
FoI or direct approach ? - whaddya reckon?

It appears that just as the EU put its own internal problems before the Good Friday Peace Agreement, it also puts its own political needs ahead of its supposed "green" agenda. Worse still, the UK government lets them.
