Introduction
 Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is a process that
can produce electricity by using the temperature difference
between deep cold ocean water and warm tropical surface
water.
 OTEC is an energy technology that converts solar radiation to
electric power .
 OTEC utilizes the world’s largest solar radiation collector.
 The ocean contains enough energy power all of the world’s
electrical needs.
Continued…
 Oceans cover more than 70% of Earth's surface, making
them the world's largest solar collectors.
 OTEC is a renewable energy technology that converts
solar radiation into electric power by use of world oceans.
 OTEC process uses temperature difference between cold
deep water (5 ℃) & warm surface water (27 ℃) to power a
turbine to generate electricity.
Working Principle
 This plant works on the principle of a closed Rankine Cycle.
 Warm Water is used to evaporate working fluid like
Ammonia or halocarbon Refrigerant.
 Evaporated Fluid expands in a low pressure turbine, which
is coupled with a turbo alternator to produce electricity.
TYPES OF ELECTRICITY CONVERSION SYSTEMS
 There are three types of electricity conversion systems:
1. Closed or Anderson, OTEC Cycle Power Plant
2. Open or Claude OTEC Cycle Power Plant
3. Hybrid Cycle OTEC Power Plant.
Closed Loop OTEC Cycle
 In the closed-cycle OTEC system, warm sea water vaporizes a
working fluid, such as ammonia, flowing through a heat exchanger
(evaporator).
 The vapor expands at moderate pressures and turns a turbine
coupled to a generator that produces electricity.
 The vapor is then condensed in heat exchanger (condenser) using
cold seawater pumped from the ocean's depths through a cold-
water pipe.
 The condensed working fluid is pumped back to the evaporator to
repeat the cycle.
 The working fluid remains in a closed system and circulates
continuously.
Continued…
 The heat exchangers (evaporator and condenser) are a large and
crucial component of the closed-cycle power plant, both in terms
of actual size and capital cost.
Open Loop OTEC Cycle
 In an open-cycle OTEC, the sea water is itself used to generate
heat without any kind of intermediate fluid.
 Open-cycle OTEC uses the tropical oceans' warm surface water
to make electricity.
 The open cycle consists of the following steps:
• Flash evaporation of a fraction of the warm seawater by
reduction of pressure below the saturation value corresponding
to its temperature
• Expansion of the vapor through a turbine to generate power;
• Heat transfer to the cold seawater thermal sink resulting in
condensation of the working fluid.
Continued….
• Compression of the non-condensable gases (air released from the
seawater streams at the low operating pressure) to pressures
required to discharge them from the system.
Hybrid OTEC Cycle
 A hybrid cycle combines the features of both the closed-
cycle and open-cycle systems.
 In a hybrid OTEC system, warm seawater enters a vacuum
chamber where it is flash-evaporated into steam, which is
similar to the open-cycle evaporation process.
 The steam vaporizes the working fluid of a closed-cycle loop
on the other side of an ammonia vaporizer.
Continued….
 The vaporized fluid then drives a turbine that produces
electricity. The steam condenses within the heat exchanger and
provides desalinated water
OTEC System Application
 Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) systems have many
applications or uses.
 OTEC can be used to generate electricity, desalinate water,
support deep-water mariculture, and provide refrigeration and air-
conditioning as well as aid in crop growth and mineral extraction.
1. Electricity Production
 Two basic OTEC system designs have been demonstrated to generate
electricity: closed cycle and open cycle.
 The details are discussed in the above slide.
Continued….
2. Desalinated Water
 Desalinated water can be produced in open- or hybrid-cycle
plants using surface condensers.
 A surface condenser can be used to recover part of the steam in
the cycle and to reduce the overall size of the heat exchangers.
 One way to produce large quantities of desalinated water without
incurring the cost of an open-cycle turbine is to use a hybrid
system.
 In a hybrid system, desalinated water is produced by vacuum
flash distillation and power is produced by a closed cycle loop.
Continued….
3. Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning
 The cold [5°C (41ºF)] seawater made available by an OTEC
system creates an opportunity to provide large amounts of cooling
to operations that are related to or close to the plant.
 The low-cost refrigeration provided by the cold seawater can be
used to upgrade or maintain the quality of indigenous fish, which
tend to deteriorate quickly in warm tropical regions.
 The cold seawater delivered to an OTEC plant can be used in
chilled-water coils to provide airconditioning for buildings
Continued….
4. Mineral Extraction
 The ocean contains 57 trace elements in salt dissolved in
solution.
 The Japanese recently began investigating the concept of
combining the extraction of uranium dissolved in sea water with
wave-energy technology.
 They found that developments in other technologies were
improving the viability of mineral extraction processes that
employ ocean energy.
Advantages of OTEC
 Helps in producing fuels such as hydrogen, ammonia, and
methanol .
 Produces base load electrical energy .
 Produces desalinated water for industrial, agricultural, and
residential uses .
 Is a resource for on-shore and near-shore Mari culture
operations .
 Provides air-conditioning for buildings .
 Provides moderate-temperature refrigeration .
Continued….
 Has significant potential to provide clean, cost-effective electricity
for the future.
 Food Aquaculture products can be cultivated in discharge water.
 Eco- friendly .
 Minimal maintenance costs compared to other power production
plants.
 OTEC helps in mining .
 Specially beneficial for small islands as they can become self-
sufficient .
Disadvantages of OTEC
 OTEC produced electricity at present would cost more than
electricity generated from fossils fuels at their current costs.
 No energy company put money in this project because it only had
been tested in a very small scale.
 Construction of OTEC plants and lying of pipes in coastal waters
may cause localized damage to reefs and near-shore marine
ecosystem.
 OTEC plant construction and operation may affect commercial
and recreational fishing.
Continued….
 Other risks associated with the OTEC power system are the
safety issues associated with steam electric power generation
plants are : -
• Electrical hazards,
• Rotating machinery,
• Use of compressed gases,
• Heavy material-handling equipment, and
• Shop and maintenance hazards.
CONCLUSION
 Ocean thermal energy conversion is a potential source of
renewable energy that creates no emissions. It is fuel free.
 It has a low environmental impact, can supply pure water for
both drinking and agriculture purposes.
 Can supply refrigeration and cooling and can provide a coastal
community with reliable energy.
 It is predicted that in the year 2040, the world will consume 820
quadrillion Btu of energy.
 Amount of solar energy absorbed by oceans is 4000 times
presently consumed by humans. We would need less than 1%
of that renewable energy to satisfy our desires.

Continued….  Other risks associated with the OTEC power system are the safety issues associated with steam electric power generation plants are : - • Electrical hazards, • Rotating machinery, • Use of compressed gases, • Heavy material-handling equipment, and • Shop and maintenance hazards.
  • 21. CONCLUSION  Ocean thermal energy conversion is a potential source of renewable energy that creates no emissions. It is fuel free.  It has a low environmental impact, can supply pure water for both drinking and agriculture purposes.  Can supply refrigeration and cooling and can provide a coastal community with reliable energy.  It is predicted that in the year 2040, the world will consume 820 quadrillion Btu of energy.  Amount of solar energy absorbed by oceans is 4000 times presently consumed by humans. We would need less than 1% of that renewable energy to satisfy our desires.
