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.

Abstract: A wind turbine is provided. The wind turbine comprises: a generator (162), one or more power converters (20) arranged between the generator and a point of connection to a main transformer (5), and one or more wind turbine electrical components (8, 9, 10). The main transformer (5) is configured to connect a busbar (60) to an auxiliary wind turbine transformer, wherein the busbar is configured to receive electrical power from an electrical grid with a main voltage. The wind turbine electrical components are configured to be connected to the auxiliary wind turbine transformer (6), wherein a selection of the wind turbine electrical components is further configured to be connected to the busbar through a service voltage transformer (7) when the main transformer (5) is disconnected from the busbar. Systems comprising such wind turbines are also provided. Methods for connecting a wind turbine main transformer to a grid are also provided.
