Hey Wrenches,
We need energy curves, not power curves.
Customers want energy, not power. Manufacturers seem to want to brag
about power.
So few consumers (and some wrenches) understand how to make sense of
a power curve, and the natural tendency is to look at the top, which
is the least useful part of the curve, since wind generators do not
live there most of the time (almost all of the time...).
KWH per day in 6, 8, 10, and 12 mph average wind speed would be much
more useful info for wrenches and consumers. Still inexact, of
course, but much less misleading/distracting than power curves.
Ian
