Abstract
A wind turbine system with a medium voltage (MV) converter system for converting electric power by the wind turbine generator. A housing, e.g. a placed on the ground near the wind turbine tower, encloses the MV converter to block access. An access door with a controllable locking mechanism is controlled by an access control system which unlocks the access door after execution of a safety access algorithm. This allows a person to provide service to the potentially dangerous MV equipment in a safe an automated way after request. The housing preferably has a control compartment where a person can request access and await opening of the access door for safe access to the MV converter.
