Full Description

BS PD IEC/TS 62600-101:2015, which is a Technical Specification, establishes a system forestimating, analysing and reporting the wave energy resource at sites potentially suitable forthe installation of Wave Energy Converters (WECs). This Technical Specification is to beapplied 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 becalculated. This Technical Specification is not intended for estimation of extreme waveconditions.

The wave energy resource is primarily defined using hydrodynamic models that aresuccessfully validated against measurements. The framework and methodologies prescribedin 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 inthe reported results. Moreover, the document prescribes methods for analysing metoceandata (including the data generated by modelling) in order to properly quantify and characterizethe temporal and spatial attributes of the wave energy resource, and for reporting the resultsof a resource assessment in a comprehensive and consistent manner.
