The design characteristics and the properties of the wind resource are the factors that determine the power generated by a wind turbine. The capacity factor is dependent on these parameters determine. The results are analysed to obtain a general form for the capacity factor and the method may be useful for turbine manufacturers in designing electronic control systems.
