BS PD IEC/TS 62600-101:2015, which is a Technical Specification, establishes a system for
estimating, analysing and reporting the wave energy resource at sites potentially suitable for
the installation of Wave Energy Converters (WECs). This Technical Specification is to be
applied at all stages of site assessment (from initial investigations to detailed project design)
and in conjunction with the IEC Technical Specification on WEC performance (IEC TS 62600-
100) enables an estimate of the annual energy production of a WEC or WEC array to be
calculated. This Technical Specification is not intended for estimation of extreme wave
conditions.The wave energy resource is primarily defined using hydrodynamic models that are
successfully validated against measurements. The framework and methodologies prescribed
in this Technical Specification are intended to ensure that only adequate models are used,
and that they are applied in an appropriate manner to ensure confidence and consistency in
the reported results. Moreover, the document prescribes methods for analysing metocean
data (including the data generated by modelling) in order to properly quantify and characterize
the temporal and spatial attributes of the wave energy resource, and for reporting the results
of a resource assessment in a comprehensive and consistent manner.Cross References:IEC TS 61600-100ISO/IEC Guide 98-3:2008ASME 20-2009All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
