Abstract
The purpose of this deliverable is to assess any potential areas in the IEC/TS 62600-200: Electricity producing tidal energy converters – Power performance assessment technical specification which could be improve. By conducting a gap analysis on the specification, recommendations can be drawn as to which areas need to be improved, where further research may be required and how the specification can be changed to be more appropriate for where the tidal sector is now and the future.
The aim is that this will then act as feedback to the IEC TS 62600-200 maintenance team so that the comments can be considered as a second edition is developed. It will be informative in how EMEC approaches and reports on future performance tests.
This activity falls under the scope of the Interreg Channel Manche – Tidal Stream Industry Energiser Project (TIGER), intended to develop a go-to pan European energy supply chain resource in the channel region.
