Conference ·
OSTI ID:6172544
;

Progress in an advanced research and development program studying viable alternatives to closed-cycle OTEC is reported. Work on a 100-MWe steam turbine, heat exchangers, and deaeration for Claude- or open-cycle OTEC systems are reported. Capsule descriptions of ocean energy conversion techniques are given, including wave energy conversion, ocean current energy conversion, and salinity gradient energy conversion as well as varieties of ocean thermal energy conversion.
