Abstract
wind turbine comprising at least one rotor (11) and a floating foundation. The floating foundation comprising at least one floating hollow body (15 a-c). Installed within the floating hollow body or bodies (15 a-c) is an electrical substation (not shown). A plurality of separately controllable power switches (not shown) are arranged on the input side of the electrical substation. Incorporating the substation within the foundation of the wind turbine reduces capital costs and installation space requirements.
