Abstract
A method for calculating a high-altitude power curve for a wind turbine is provided, the method including the steps of determining a cp-λ curve for a predetermined blade pitch angle of said wind turbine; calculating a first power curve without power limit based on the cp-λ curve; and calculating the high-altitude power curve with power limit from said first power curve, thereby using a site air density.
