Ocean Thermal Energy

Ocean Thermal Energy or Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is a procedure that generates electricity by the usage of the temperature difference between the deep-freezing ocean or sea cold water and the shore-based tropical warm surface water. The OTEC plant pumps extensive quantities of deep-freezing ocean cold water, and warm surface seawater that is obligatory to run a power cycle and create electricity. OTEC is a (24/7) power initiating firm, a sustainable energy source and capable of supplying enormous levels of energy.

A well-insulated turbine operating at steady state is shown on the right. Steam enters at 3 MPa, 400°C, with a volumetric flow rate of 85 m³/min. Some steam is extracted from the turbine at a pressure of 0.5 MPa and a temperature of 180°C. The rest expands to a pressure of 6 kPa and a quality of 90%. The total power developed by the turbine is 11,400 kW. Kinetic and potential energy effects can be neglected.
