r"""
Calculates the turbine power output using a power coefficient curve.
This function is carried out when the parameter `power_output_model` of an
instance of the :class:`~.modelchain.ModelChain` class is
'power_coefficient_curve'.
Parameters
----------
wind_speed : :pandas:`pandas.Series<series>` or numpy.array
Wind speed at hub height in m/s.
power_coefficient_curve_wind_speeds : :pandas:`pandas.Series<series>` or numpy.array
Wind speeds in m/s for which the power coefficients are provided in
`power_coefficient_curve_values`.
power_coefficient_curve_values : :pandas:`pandas.Series<series>` or numpy.array
Power coefficients corresponding to wind speeds in
`power_coefficient_curve_wind_speeds`.
rotor_diameter : float
Rotor diameter in m.
density : :pandas:`pandas.Series<series>` or numpy.array
Density of air at hub height in kg/m³.
Returns
-------
:pandas:`pandas.Series<series>` or numpy.array
Electrical power output of the wind turbine in W.
Data type depends on type of `wind_speed`.
Notes
-----
The following equation is used [1]_ [2]_:
.. math:: P=\frac{1}{8}\cdot\rho_{hub}\cdot d_{rotor}^{2}
\cdot\pi\cdot v_{wind}^{3}\cdot cp\left(v_{wind}\right)
with:
P: power [W], :math:`\rho`: density [kg/m³], d: diameter [m],
v: wind speed [m/s], cp: power coefficient
It is assumed that the power output for wind speeds above the maximum
and below the minimum wind speed given in the power coefficient curve is
zero.

This function is carried out when the parameter `power_output_model` of an

the parameter `density_correction` is True the density corrected power
curve (see :py:func:`~.power_curve_density_correction`) is used.
Parameters
----------

Wind speed at hub height in m/s.

Wind speeds in m/s for which the power curve values are provided in
`power_curve_values`.
power_curve_values : pandas.Series or numpy.array
Power curve values corresponding to wind speeds in
`power_curve_wind_speeds`.
density : :pandas:`pandas.Series<series>` or numpy.array
Density of air at hub height in kg/m³. This parameter is needed
if `density_correction` is True. Default: None.
density_correction : bool
If the parameter is True the density corrected power curve (see

calculation of the turbine power output. In this case `density`
cannot be None. Default: False.

The following equation is used for the site specific power curve wind
speeds [1]_ [2]_ [3]_:
.. math:: v_{site}=v_{std}\cdot\left(\frac{\rho_0}{\rho_{site}}\right)^{p(v)}
with:
.. math:: p=\begin{cases}

\frac{1}{15}\cdot v_{std}-\frac{1}{6} & 7.5

\frac{2}{3} & \geq 12.5 \text{ m/s}
\end{cases},
v: wind speed [m/s], :math:`\rho`: density [kg/m³]
:math:`v_{std}` is the standard wind speed in the power curve
(:math:`v_{std}`, :math:`P_{std}`),
:math:`v_{site}` is the density corrected wind speed for the power curve
(:math:`v_{site}`, :math:`P_{std}`),
:math:`\rho_0` is the ambient density (1.225 kg/m³)
and :math:`\rho_{site}` the density at site conditions (and hub height).
