Yes Jason. I am plotting AeroDyn output RtAeroCp.
Yes, Induced velocity calculation is disabled in my simulation. I did not think about the fact that Betz limit is valid only when BEMT is used.
Thanks for pointing that. Now I understand that exceeding Betz limit is sensible, but how is it possible to generate more power than that is available in the wind? Kindly advice me incase i'm missing something fundamental here. Thanks.

Re: Power coefficient/Aerodynamic torque
Dear Kumara,
Without induction, energy is not preserved in this simulation, so, energy-related quantities are not accurate. I would set WakeMod = 1.
