Abstract: A wind turbine comprising a tower, a nacelle mounted rotatably on the tower via a yaw system and a hub carrying one or more wind turbine blades is disclosed. The wind turbine further comprises a generator, an AC/DC converter connected to the generator and an electrolysis system connected to a DC power output of the AC/DC converter for producing hydrogen. The electrolysis system is arranged in an up-tower part of the wind turbine, e.g. in the nacelle. The wind turbine further comprises a hydrogen transport line connected to the electrolysis system for transporting hydrogen produced by the electrolysis system away from the electrolysis system, the hydrogen transport line extending along an exterior surface of the tower from the position of the electrolysis system to a lower part of the tower.
