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.
