| Published By | Publication Date | Number of Pages |
| BSI | 2019 | 48 |
This part of IEC 62600 provides:
-
Methodologies that ensure consistency and accuracy in the determination of the theoretical river energy resource at sites that may be suitable for the installation of River Energy Converters (RECs);
-
Methodologies for producing a standard current speed distribution based on measured, historical, or numerical data, or a combination thereof, to be used in conjunction with an appropriate river energy power performance assessment;
-
Allowable data collection methods and/or modelling techniques; and
-
A framework for reporting results.
The document explicitly excludes:
-
Technical or practical resource assessments;
-
Resource characterisation;
-
Power performance assessment of river energy converters; and
-
Environmental impact studies, assessments, or similar.
