DANSK DSF/IEC TS 62600-300 ED1 PDF

This Technical Specification 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 REC rated capacity and rated water speed; • A methodology for the production of power curves for the RECs in consideration; and • A framework for the reporting of results. Exclusions to the scope of the Technical Specification 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 REC; • 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 REC arrays.
