Abstract: In the current article, fundamental directions for the estimation of energy production of wind turbines are provided. To that end, synthesis of wind potential analysis principles with the main operational characteristics of typical wind turbines is currently undertaken, with special emphasis given on the critical factors which affect the wind energy output of a wind turbine. Topics analyzed in this context include the basics of converting wind power to useful wind energy, the assessment of wind potential for energy generation purposes, wind turbine power curves, wind energy production estimation, the main parameters affecting wind energy production, the impact of technical availability on the productive operation of wind turbines and finally a short discussion on the challenge of dispatchability.
