CSA IEC TS 62600-10:25

CSA Preface This is the first edition of CSA IEC TS 62600-10, Marine energy — Wave, tidal and other water current converters — Part 10: Assessment of mooring system for marine energy converters (MECs ), which is an adoption without modification of the identically titled IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) Technical Specification 62600-10 (second edition, 2021-07). For brevity, this Standard will be referred to as "CSA IEC TS 62600-10" throughout. This IEC Technical Specification was reviewed for Canadian adoption by the CSA Technical Committee on Marine Energy — Wave, Tidal, and Other Water Current Converters, under the jurisdiction of the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Power Engineering and Electromagnetic Compatibility, and has been formally approved by the Technical Committee. This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group. Scope The purpose of this document is to provide uniform methodologies for the design and assessment of mooring systems for floating Marine Energy Converters (MECs) (as defined in the TC 114 scope). It is intended to be applied at various stages, from mooring system assessment to design, installation and maintenance of floating Marine Energy Converters plants. This document is applicable to mooring systems for floating Marine Energy Converters units of any size or type in any open water conditions. Some aspects of the mooring system design process are more detailed in existing and well-established mooring standards. The intent of this document is to highlight the different requirements of Marine Energy Converters and not duplicate existing standards or processes. While requirements for anchor holding capacity are indicated, detailed geotechnical analysis and design of anchors are beyond the scope of this document.
