Assumptions and calculation
Output = min(generator nameplate, ½ × air density × swept area × wind speed³ × Cp × drivetrain efficiency). This example uses a 3 m/s cut-in and 25 m/s cut-out for both technologies. Cp is capped at 16/27. Rotor diameters, aerodynamic coefficients and operating limits are example assumptions, not HEPS design specifications or an OEM curve.
Additional generator capacity does not add available wind energy. Blade and weight gains default to zero until supported by a matched electrical-output test. The weight-gain input is a hypothetical net benefit, not a conversion of historical torque readings. No annual energy or capacity factor is calculated.
