Anticipated power output
Anticipated power output refers to the expected amount of energy a device, machine, or system can produce over a certain period. It is an estimate based on current conditions, design specifications, and operational capacity. For example, a wind turbine's anticipated power output predicts how much electricity it could generate under typical wind conditions. This measure helps plan, optimize, and evaluate performance, ensuring sufficient energy supply and efficient operation. It acknowledges potential variability but provides a useful forecast for decision-making and system management.
