WIND TURBINE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A WIND TURBINE

Wind turbine, comprising a rotor, a generator (6) driven by the rotor for producing energy, and an energy conversion device (7) comprising at least one energy conversion module (10) operatable both in an electrolyzer mode to produce hydrogen by electrolyzing water using energy provided by the generator (6) in a first operational mode of the wind turbine (1) and in a fuel cell mode to produce energy by reacting hydrogen and oxygen in a second operational mode of the wind turbine (1), wherein the energy conversion module (10) is switchable between the electrolyzer mode and the fuel cell mode.
