What is PD IEC/TS 62600-102 -Wave energy converter about?
The IEC 62600 series is a European Standard that discusses marine energy converters. The main objective of IEC 62600 is to provide the design, installation, and test methods for the effective use of marine energy.
PD IEC/TS 62600-102 is one of the parts of the IEC 62600 series is a Technical Specification, describes the required methods and the required conditions to determine the power performance of the WEC 2 in Location 2, possibly at a different scale and with configuration changes to accommodate the new site conditions, in all cases based on measured power performance of WEC 1 in Location 1. This technical specification allows for assessment at Location 1 or Location 2 based on limited/incomplete data material, as long as this is accompanied by a validated numerical model or physical model and assessment of the uncertainty involved. Another key element is transparency in the assessment.
PD IEC/TS 62600-102 specification includes:
Specification of data requirements needed from the original measurements at Location 1 including an assessment of the uncertainty involved (if based on limited/incomplete data material) in addition to those specified in IEC TS 62600-100 and IEC TS 62600-101
Limitation on the changes that are allowed to the WEC and the specification of the location
Wave data required at Location 2, as a minimum the requirements fo...
