Published By | Publication Date | Number of Pages |
BSI | 2019 | 58 |
This part of IEC 62600 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 metho dology 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.
