ocean thermal energy conversion

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is a process that generates electricity by using the temperature difference between the warm surface water and cold deep water of the ocean. Warm surface water heats a working fluid, creating vapor that drives a turbine to produce electricity. The vapor is then cooled using cold deep water, condensing it back into liquid. This cycle repeats continuously. OTEC is a renewable and sustainable energy source, harnessing the immense thermal energy stored in ocean waters, and has potential for consistent power generation in suitable coastal areas.
