The scientific community agrees in accepting that climatic conditions affect the power curve of a wind turbine. The effort of that community to understand the physical phenomena related to the effect of such variables have originated the definition of normalization procedures in the main standard used to measure the performance of wind turbines. The Edition 2 of IEC61400-12-1 issued on Mach 2017 includes some procedures to account for turbulence, shear exponent, inflow, wind veer, etc.
