van Kooten, Rob (author)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...master thesis 2020

van der Veer, Machiel (author)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...master thesis 2018

Keesmaat, K. (author)The growing worldwide demand for clean, sustainable electricity generation and improved energy efficiency offers a valuable opportunity for the large scale implementation of OTEC (Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion) and SWAC (Sea Water Air Conditioning). One of the remaining technological challenges for large scale land-based OTEC and SWAC is the...master thesis 2015
