How useful are Power Curves

All power curves are supplied by manufacturer or installer literature.

Can they be used to predict output?

Are there variations between manufacturers?

Conclusions

MIS3003 offers a helpful insight on low sites

Quality of power curves vary by manufacturer

There are patterns emerging

More data required to build up a more complete picture
