What is Power Coefficient of Wind Machine?

The Power Coefficient (Cp) of a wind machine is a dimensionless measure of a wind turbine’s efficiency in converting the kinetic energy of wind into mechanical energy. It is the ratio of actual power output from the turbine to the total power available in the wind. The theoretical maximum Cp, known as the Betz limit, is around 0.59, meaning no wind turbine can capture more than 59% of the wind’s energy due to physical constraints.
