1. A wind turbine, comprising:
a generator for converting wind energy into electrical energy;
a hydrogen production system for producing hydrogen by means of the electrical energy;
a first auxiliary group of electrical consumers;
a second auxiliary group of electrical consumers;
an auxiliary power network for powering the first auxiliary group and the second auxiliary group; and
a power conditioning device for providing power to the hydrogen production system as well as to the auxiliary power network, wherein only the first auxiliary group can be electrically disconnected from the auxiliary power network by means of one or a plurality of switch disconnectors to reduce an energy consumption of the auxiliary power network.
