Sustainable energy is needed globally, and Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) a possible way to diversify the matrix. This article suggests preliminary selection process find optimal sites for OTEC deployment on Mexican coastline. The method comprises (1) evaluation of thermal power potential, using daily data (16 years) sea surface temperature, percentage available time thresholds; (2) ass...

Peningkatan kebutuhan energi dunia relatif mengalami peningkatan yang cukup signifikan dari tahun ke tahun. Kebutuhan akan Energi Baru Terbarukan (EBT) juga meningkat seiring dengan menurunnya cadangan fosil. Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) menajdi salah satu alternatif sumber EBT pengembangan teknologinya berkembang dalam beberapa dekade terakhir. Umumnya OTEC menggunakan barge sebagai ...

Indonesia strives for a renewable energy share of 23% by 2025. One option to contribute this goal is Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC). Despite global theoretical potential up 30 TW, its economically deployable remains unknown. This paper proposes novel methodology, which enables determine OTEC’s economic any regional scope considering technical, and natural variables. The methodology was ...

The conversion of Ocean Renewable Energy (ORE) sources to electricity could meet increasing energy demand and diversify the supply in Malaysia. Possessing a long coastline overlooking South China Sea (SCS) Malacca strait has encouraged Malaysian government promote ORE assess available resources reduce its dependence on fossil fuels. However, most previous attempts potential have focused primari...

The temperature glide effect of zeotropic mixtures on ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) cycle driven by a narrow difference, which is significantly different from that in conventional low-grade technologies, yet to be thoroughly studied. In this study, the binary mixtures-based OTEC investigated. Comparative analysis classical ORC and six types ORCs configured with or without series/parall...

Abstract Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) harnesses thermal energy stored at different seawater depths via power generation from a thermodynamic closed-loop cyclical system. Apart its consistent generation, it could be diversified into other side industries, making OTEC an attractive and sustainable source of renewable energy. However, the process that utilises as main fluid is exposed to...
