Performance parameters for Darrieus rotor

The power output of a wind turbine rotor changes with the rpm so the rotor performance is normally presented in power coefficient versus tip to wind speed ratio graph. Sometimes, the same information is also expressed in form of torque coefficient vs. tip speed ratio curve. For a Darrieus wind turbine:
