IEC TS 62600-300:2019

Marine energy - Wave, tidal and other water current converters - Part 300: Electricity producing river energy converters - Power performance assessment

OVERVIEW

IEC TS 62600-300:2019 provides:

· A systematic methodology for evaluating the power performance of river current energy converters (RECs) that produce electricity for utility scale and localized grids;

· A definition of river energy converter rated capacity and rated water speed;

· A methodology for the production of power curves for the river energy converters in consideration; and

· A framework for the reporting of results.

Exclusions from the scope of this document are as follows:

· RECs that provide forms of energy other than electrical energy unless the other form is an intermediary step that is converted into electricity by the river energy converter;

· Resource assessment, that will be addressed separately in the River Energy Resource Assessment Technical Specification;

· Scaling of any measured or derived results;

· Power quality issues;

· Any type of performance other than power and energy performance; and

· The combined effect of multiple river energy converter arrays.
