As the operation of an ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) plant depends on temperature gradient between surface and deeper water (SST), a variation in SST can significantly modify produced. The aim this paper is to present comparative analysis three sea-surface databases (World Ocean Atlas (WOA), Satellite Oceanic Monitoring System (SATMO), situ sensor measurements). Simple linear regressio...

Research into renewable energy is an active field of research, with photovoltaic and wind being the most representative technologies. A promising source Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC), based on temperature gradient seawater. This technology has two contradictory features, as its efficiency relatively low while, other hand, almost unlimited. OTEC research focused optimizing extraction, d...

The aim of this article is to show how an OTEC Ecopark could provide comprehensive, sustainable, and quality products that satisfy the diverse needs coastal communities in Mexico. An offshore 60 MW hybrid Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) plant proposed, which will not only fulfill water, energy, food communities, but also energize local blue economy. assessment financial feasibility as we...

In developing countries such as Pakistan, the issue of generating power is crucial. As conventional sources (fossil fuels) are depleting at an alarming rate. An abundant amount energy generated by thermal plants using fossil fuels their primary resource for combustion. Hence extreme uses noticed, which greatly responsible damaging our environment. Oceans exists around 71% surface area earth and...

Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) uses a very simple process to convert the stored mainly in tropical oceans into electricity. In designs, operations, and evaluations, we need consider unique characteristics of OTEC achieve best performance or lower electricity cost projects. The concept design constraints power generation differ from those conventional plants due utilization low temperatu...
