Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) produces electricity using the temperature difference between warm surface and cold deep-sea water. OTEC systems in literature only limitedly consider seasonal seawater temperature<br/>variations and thus might not be adequately sized for off-design conditions. This potentially leads to techno-economically...

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is a promising renewable energy technology that is the most economical at large scale. But contemporary literature does not address how OTEC could reach such scale with current technology, and what the techno-economic impact of location-dependent factors and technological learning are. This paper tackles...

Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC), is a renewable energy resource that uses the thermal gradient of the ocean to generate electricity. Warm surface water and cold deep sea water, which can be found at depths of approximately 1000 [m], are used to generate electricity in a thermodynamic Rankine cycle. Due to its dimensions, the installation...

The global energy demand is growing, while climate change is demanding a sustainable way of generating this energy. Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) can be a part of the solution for this problem. OTEC generates electricity by using the temperature difference between the surface water of the ocean and the water at 1000 meters depth as a...

Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) is a Renewable Energy Technology (RET) with a global theoretical potential of up to 30 TW. However, OTEC's economic potential is unknown as it is still an immature technology with no commercial plant operating. This paper reviews recent academic and industrial literature since 2005 to provide an overview...

This thesis project aims to enable Bluerise to create a 3 [MW] plant for their OTEC system. The current model and lab setup used to create insight into the systems working mechanisms are based on a Kalina cycle configuration. This method uses a working fluid mixture of water and ammonia. After evaporation, the liquid and vapor are separated and...

For remote islands with high energy prices in the tropics, Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) can be a reliable energy source to supply a renewable baseload for the energy grid. Also, due to the increasing cooling demand, there is a need for sustainable cooling around the equator. This can be supplied by seawater air-conditioning (SWAC). For...

In the search for new forms of renewable energy production, an interesting option is to make use of the energy stored in the ocean in tropical areas. The sun heats up the surface water in these areas to a point it is feasible to generate electricity, using the temperature difference between the hot surface water and the cold ocean water at...

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is a technique to generate electricity by using the thermal gradient available in the ocean to drive a heat engine. In order for OTEC to become successful it is important to reduce the levelized cost of electricity. The development of an effective control system can aid in this endeavour, by making sure...

The increasing demand in renewable energy motivates the search for new renewable energy sources. The ocean is a vast energy source of both thermal and kinetic energy, however methods to harness this energy haven’t reached maturity yet. Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC), a method to harness the thermal energy of the ocean, could change this....
