Ocean thermal energy conversion research on an engineering evaluation and test program. Volume III. Baseline system concept
This volume examines the use of a baseline concept, defined here as one which embodies basic system principles with the lowest possible technical risk. System concepts were postulated and ranked with criteria of performance, risk, and cost. The baseline system concept used a binary, closed Rankine cycle using ammonia as the working fluid. (GRA) -
The potential for a hybrid geothermal-ocean thermal energy conversion (GEOTEC) power plant installation at Adak Island, Alaska
At shoreline locations where conventional ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) plants are not feasible but where a moderate quality (120 to 180/sup 0/C) geothermal water resource is available, there can be advantages in combining OTEC and geothermal binary cycle technologies. Such is the case at Adak Island, Alaska, where there is a need for 1012 MWe of power to support a Naval Air Station and where resource assessments to date indicate a 180/sup 0/C geothermal resource adjacent to 5/sup 0/C surface seawater. Dual binary cycles using water and ammonia, and isobutane and ammonia, as working fluid pairs are being examined.more » -

Ocean engineering for ocean thermal energy conversion
The panel on OTEC Ocean Engineering of the National Research Council was formed to assess the state of ocean engineering knowledge, technology, and practice necessary to design, construct, and operate OTEC plants. The panel concentrated its study on platforms, moorings, and foundations; the cold water pipe; and submarine cables for electric power transmission. The panel did not address the design and engineering of power plants; institutional and management issues or the commercial feasibility of OTEC; or its environmental impacts. The panel focused instead on determining the state of development of several of the ocean engineering technologies needed to design andmore »
