    This document discusses Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC), a technology that uses the temperature difference between cold deep ocean water and warm surface water to generate electricity. It describes the OTEC process, factors to consider when selecting sites, and the three main types of OTEC systems: closed-cycle, open-cycle, and hybrid-cycle. Closed-cycle plants use ammonia as a working fluid while open-cycle plants use warm seawater. The document also outlines the advantages of OTEC, such as being renewable and producing byproducts like freshwater and hydrogen, as well as limitations such as high costs and low efficiency. It provides examples of existing OTEC plants and concludes with references for further information.

    OCEAN THERMAL ENERGY

    CONVERSION (OTEC)

    Submitted by,

    1
    INTRODUCTION
    • OTEC is a renewable energy technology that convert solar
    radiation into electrical power by use of world ocean
    • OTEC Process uses temperature difference between cold deep
    water and warm surface water to power a turbine to generate
    electricity

    2

    3
    Factors to be considered while choosing a
    site
    • Thermal gradient in the ocean
    • Topography of the ocean floor
    • Seismic activity
    • Infrastructure –airport , harbour ..etc
    • Availability of personnel to operate the plant
    • Political and ecological constraints
    • Cost and availability of shore line sites

    4
    Types of OTEC plants

    1.Based on cycle
    • Closed cycle
    • Open cycle
    • Hybrid cycle
    2.Based on location
    • Land based plant
    • shelf mounted plant
    • floating plants

    5
    Closed cycle OTEC plant
    • Working fluid – Ammonia (low boiling point)

    6
    Open cycle

    • working fluid- warm sea water


    • By product- fresh water

    7
    Hybrid cycle
    • A hybrid cycle combines the feature of both open and closed cycle

    8
    Land based OTEC power plant

    • Located on onshore site.


    • Installed in sheltered area
    • Not require sophisticated mooring , power cables
    • located close to industries such as Mari culture

    9
    Shelf mounted OTEC power plant

    • Mounted to continental shelf at depths up to 100m


    • Close to hot as well as cold source of water

    10
    Floating OTEC power plant

    • Operate at offshore
    • Easily installed
    • More prone to damage due to storm

    11
    OTEC system application
    • Hydrogen can be produced via electrolysis using electricity
    generated by the OTEC process.
    • Fresh water-2 MW plant can produce 4300 cubic meter fresh
    water each day.
    • Mari-culture - Deep ocean water contains high concentration of
    minerals
    • Mineral extraction

    12
    Advantages of OTEC
    • Renewable , continuous , pollution free
    • Large power supply in MW range
    • Ideal for
    - Islands
    - Mid sea mining

    • OTEC by products
    - Fresh water
    - Aqua-culture
    - Hydrogen, methanol, ammonia
    - Uranium, gold , platinum

    13
    OTEC system-Limitations
    • Capital intensive
    • Conversion efficiency is very low about 3-4%
    • High heat transfer area
    • Structural design to with stand large wave, wind and
    current loads (occasional cyclones)
    • Seasonal variations / natural calamities
    • Marine environment should not be damaged
