Economics of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC)

Author

Listed:
  • Cavrot, D.E.

Abstract

Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) has for many years been recognised as a possible energy of the future. Recently, the emphasis has changed towards combination plants offering not only power, but also freshwater, mariculture and other deep ocean water applications (DOWA).
