Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a wind turbine comprising a wind turbine rotor with a plurality of blades supported on a support structure, a generator operatively coupled to the wind turbine rotor for generating electrical power, a power electronic converter for converting electrical power generated by the generator to a converted AC power of predetermined frequency and voltage, and a main wind turbine transformer having a low voltage side and a high voltage side for transforming the converted AC power to a higher voltage. One or more electric filters are connected to the high voltage side of the main transformer, wherein the electric filters are arranged in the support structure. The present disclosure also relates to wind farms, and particularly offshore wind farms, and to methods for operating wind farms.
