westwind 20kw power output curve

The graph below shows the typical power produced (in Watts) for the Westwind 20kW at different wind speeds. Some pretty serious power output if you have the right site. The available output information for the Westwind series is limited to 17m/s so to produce a more complete graph we have extrapolated the last few values.
