Availability factor (or just "availability") is a measurement of the reliability of a wind turbine or other power plant. It refers to the percentage of time that a plant is ready to generate (that is, not out of service for maintenance or repairs). Modem wind turbines have an availability of more than 98%-higher than most other types of power plant. After two decades of constant engineering refinement, today's wind machines are highly reliable.
