📐 Calculation method
V_mât = V_10m × ln(H/0.1) / ln(10/0.1) = 5.4 m/s P_vent = 0.5 × ρ × S × V³ Production = P_nominale × facteur_charge × 8760 h = 6 kW × 20% × 8760 = 10,512 kWh

Wind speed is corrected at hub height using the logarithmic law. Annual production is calculated from the manufacturer's power curve integrated over the Weibull distribution.
