How much power does a wind turbine generate?
Comparing the power generation under different wind speeds, as shown in Figure 13, it can be observed that the wind turbine’s power generation is most unstable under turbulent wind at rated wind speed, with the minimum power dropping to 3.3 MW. In contrast, at the cut-out wind speed, the turbine’s power generation remains consistently around 10 MW.
