Abstract

A system configured to provide electrical power from a wind turbine to a hydrogen production system is provided. The system s-includes at least one electrical power transport system, wherein the electrical power transport system; is associated with the wind turbine and provides an electrical power transport path configured to transport electrical power from a generator of the associated wind turbine to the hydrogen production system. The electrical power transport system an AC section coupled to the generator; a DC section coupled to the hydrogen production system; and an AC to DC converter coupled between the AC section and the DC section. The AC to DC converter is arranged outside the wind turbine. The AC section of the electrical power transport system is configured to operate at variable AC frequency.
