A review paper on present status & various novel developments in OTEC plants and it ’ s various applications

The dire need in the present electricity generation is to resort to methods entailing lesser non-renewable resources. The present decadence of the conventional energy resources such as coal, petroleum indicate that soon the development and the innovation in the Non-Conventional Energy Resources would be the man’s only recourse to the ever burgeoning demands in electricity. Thus a need for the development of such resources from the very present day is required. A lot of cerebration had already been given to the solar and the wind energy systems. In comparison to them, Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion looks in a germinal state and thus gives a lot of scope to scientific thinkers to ruminate over novel innovations.
