About this ebook
Ocean Thermal Energy explores the potential of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) as a renewable energy source by harnessing temperature differences between warm surface water and cold deep ocean water. Despite the relatively small temperature differential, OTEC systems can generate power using thermodynamic principles. The book uniquely navigates between overly optimistic and pessimistic views, offering a balanced assessment of OTEC technology, its potential benefits, and challenges.
The book progresses logically, starting with the history of OTEC, from initial concepts to pilot plants. It examines the different OTEC system designs like closed-cycle, open-cycle, and hybrid cycle. The book also addresses environmental considerations, such as impacts on marine ecosystems, and analyzes the economic viability of OTEC, including capital and operational costs. This approach provides a comprehensive understanding of OTEC for students, researchers, and policymakers interested in sustainable energy solutions.
