    Abstract: A wind turbine comprising a tower, a nacelle mounted rotatably on the tower via a yaw system and a hub carrying at least one wind turbine blade is disclosed. The wind turbine 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 being arranged in an up-tower part of the wind turbine. A hydrogen transport line is connected to the electrolysis system for transporting hydrogen produced by the electrolysis system away from the electrolysis system, the hydrogen transport line extending in an interior part of the tower at least partly between the up-tower part of the wind turbine and a lower part of the tower. At least one hydrogen sensor are arranged in the interior part of the tower.
