Coal backup is incompatible with renewables. The coal plants clog the grid and prevent the usage of renewables. If you had said gas then those same gas plants could be used to convert hydrogen back into electricity.

It is the opposite: coal plants are turned on only when renewables do not produce.

And I didn’t get about hydrogen. Who can produce hydrogen?
