at all conditions.
Note that both turbines eventually reach a rated power of 5 MW. However, the CSVP
reaches the 5 MW turbine rating at a higher wind speed, 15 m/s, while the VSVP turbine
reaches 5 MW rated power at 13.5 m/s. This is because the CSVP turbine is operating at a
lower C

and thus needs a higher wind speed to reach the higher 5 MW power rating. For
the purposes of this illustration, C
