Why Are Wind Farms Never Able to Produce at Full Power?
A clear explanation of the power curve from wind turbines, using the example of the GE 1.5-MW model. Importantly, this paper shows that, because real-world conditions do not conform to those of the laboratory, there is no plateau of full production between the “rated” and the “cut-out” wind speeds. The power curve in reality reaches full production at only a very narrow range of wind speeds in between the rated and cut-out speeds. “Production starts at around 4 meters per . . .
