Power Curve of a Wind Turbine
Cut-in wind speed: Wind speed at which the blades start spinning (dependent on aerodynamic design, generator and mechanical design)
Cut-out wind speed: Maximum wind speed that the wind turbine can sustain.

Aerodynamic Design of a Blade How to design an turbine blade: Choose airfoil shapes along the turbine blade such that
each has the best lift-to-drag ratio Different speeds of tip and hub require different shapes
and different angles of attack (twist) along the blade

Tapering of a Wind Turbine Blade To account for the slower movement of the blade close to
the hub, a larger chord length can be chosen tapering
