Wind Energy
Wind Farm Capacity Factor Calculator
Calculate the capacity factor of a wind turbine or wind farm, the fraction of its theoretical maximum output that was actually delivered over a period. It is the single most important metric for comparing real-world wind project performance.

Wind Energy
Wind Turbine Power Output Calculator
Estimate the electrical power a wind turbine produces from its rotor diameter, the wind speed, and its overall efficiency. Use it for early-stage siting decisions and to compare turbine models before going to full energy-yield software.
