Wind Turbine Power Curves: IEA 15MW 240m
13 to 22
Wind turbine power curves for 4 representative size classes — small residential (Bergey 10 kW, 7 m rotor), medium commercial (NPS 100 kW, 24 m rotor), large onshore (NREL 5 MW reference, 126 m rotor), large offshore (IEA 15 MW reference, 240 m rotor); power output vs wind speed 3–25 m/s at 1 m/s increments; includes Ct thrust coefficient and Cp power coefficient
