The mission of the test field is to provide technical support to associates. The paper present the development of ocean Energy(OE) field in China and outline the new technologies and best practice, resources conditions, construction targets, generation device testing and standard system.
The main purpose is to improve the level of China's ocean energy development.
The Chinese ocean energy test field, which was started in 2008, involved a development divided in three phases (the overall design, construction, demonstration). The methodology followed in the individual phases is described, and the standardization of testing wave and tidal current energy devices is introduced.
