prBAS IEC TS 62600-100:2025

IEC TS 62600-100:2024 applied in conjunction with the IEC Technical Specification on wave energy resource assessment and characterization (IEC TS 62600-101), provides a method for estimation of the mean annual energy production of a WEC, assessing the electrical power production performance of a single, non-array, wave energy converter, at Location 2 based on the performance at Location 1.<br /> The scope of this document includes:<br /> a) All wave energy converters that produce electrical power from wave energy.<br /> b) All sea resource zones (near and offshore, deep and shallow water).<br /> c) Capture width matrix transposition from one location to another.<br /> d) Limitation on the changes that are allowed to the WEC and the specification of the location.<br /> e) Wave data required at Location 2, as a minimum the requirements found in IEC TS 62600‑101.<br /> f) Development of the capture width matrix at Location 2.<br /> g) Validation of the capture width matrix at Location 2.<br /> h) Assessment of uncertainties in the derived performance parameters at Location 2.<br /> i) Requirements for the allowable power performance transfer by geometric, kinematic and dynamic similarity.<br /> j) Requirements for the allowable incorporation of additional empirical model data.<br /> k) Requirements for the allowable incorporation of additional numerical model data.<br /> l) The document applies to commercial scale wave energy converters that are:<br /> - compliantly moored.<br /> - tautly moored.<br /> - bottom mounted.<br /> - shore mounted.<br /> This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2012. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:<br /> a) Incorporation of IEC TS 62600-102 as a series of annexes in this document.<br /> b) Removal of the computation of annual energy production. This has been moved to IEC TS 62600-101.<br /> c) Modification to the list of terms definitions, symbols and units.<br /> d) Modification of the reporting section to align with IEC TS 62600-200.
