    This document discusses the theoretical and real power curves of wind and marine turbines. It shows that the theoretical power available from wind or tidal kinetic energy increases as the cube of velocity, while the actual power output of a turbine increases with velocity up to its rated power output and cut-out speed. The document also illustrates how a turbine's power coefficient, representing the fraction of kinetic power extracted, varies with operating velocity.
