Ocean thermal energy: status and prospects
Conference
·
OSTI ID:6951075
A brief overview is given of the ocean thermal energy conversion program at the Applied Physics Laboratory. A brief background is first given of the OTEC concept. The following concepts are then discussed: TRW's 100-MWe, dynamically positioned, surface-vessel-type OTEC plant concept; The APL/JHU concept for a 100-MWe(net), 313-short-ton/day, OTEC/ammonia demonstration plant-ship for siting in tropical oceans; the ARCO LPG floating storage facility; and the OTEC-ammonia-fuel cell system.
