a wind turbine depends on (a) the available windenergy and (b) the rotor design that determines the portion of the available energy that can beharnessed, and (c) losses due to friction and generator efficiency. The ratio of the powergenerated by a wind turbine to the available power from the wind is the coefficient ofperformance Cp. Neglecting losses from friction and generator efficiency (which can besignificant), equation 1 represents the coefficient of performance Cp, where the product of totaltorque Q and rotational speed ψ provides the rotor power; and the denominator is a function ofair density τ, swept area A and average wind velocity parallel to the axis of the turbine, U♣.
