Marine energy. Wave, tidal and other water current converters. Electricity producing river energy converters. Power performance assessment
This part of IEC 62600 provides: A systematic methodology for evaluating the power performance of river current energyconverters (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 inconsideration; 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 anintermediary step that is converted into electricity by the river energy converter; Resource assessment, that will be addressed separately in the River Energy ResourceAssessment 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.
