Short summary
Wind turbine power performance is mostly calculated based on the wind speed measured at the turbine position. The presented results imply that it is necessary to also assess how the undisturbed wind speed changes in the flow direction to accurately predict the power performance. In other words, the acceleration of the flow is relevant for the energy production. An outcome of this work is a simple model that can be used to include flow acceleration in power performance predictions.
