Hi @julienMs,

In v3.0, we used to extrapolate the power production for situations that were not defined in the power-thrust tables. We realized that this could cause unpredictable behavior for high wind speeds. For example, if the user only specified the power and thrust coefficient curves between 4 and 15 m/s, then FLORIS v3.0 would assume that the turbine produces the same amount of power at 50 m/s as it does at 15 m/s, and the same power at 0 m/s as it does at 4 m/s. There are plenty of situations imaginable where this is not correct.

Hence, rather than making an assumption on what the user intends for the power curve to do, we are enforcing users to specify the performance curve for a…
