OTEC platform configuration and integration study. Final report
Conceptual designs of ship-type and spar-type platforms for Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) commercial plants are presented. Comparative evaluation of six candidate platform types is made. Design guidelines for sea water, cold water pipe and position control systems are developed. Costs are presented for plants with outputs of 400 MWe (Net) for operational sites of New Orleans, Hawaii, and Brazil.
