Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) is a renewable energy technology that harnesses the temperature difference between the warm surface waters of the ocean and the cold depths to run a heat engine to produce electricity. It is a unique form of clean energy generation that has the potential to provide a consistent and sustainable source of power
The Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion Act of 1980 (OTECA) is an act authorized by Congress to address ocean thermal conversion. It is one of six acts enacted by the Energy Security Act of 1980. [ 1 ] Ocean thermal energy conversion is the extraction of energy from the thermal differentials of subsea and surface water in regions with tropical oceans.
Technologies like Low Temperature Thermal Desalination (LTTD) using coolant water discharge from thermal power plant, wave energy using floating devices such as Backward Bent Ducted Buoy (BBDB), ocean current turbine development, solar desalination, heat exchangers for LTTD and ocean thermal energy conversion are the focal areas of research ...

Georges Claude (24 September 1870 – 23 May 1960) was a French engineer and inventor. He is noted for his early work on the industrial liquefaction of air, for the invention and commercialization of neon lighting, and for a large experiment on generating energy by pumping cold seawater up from the depths.

Nuclear energy – energy in the nucleus or core of atoms [1] Nuclear fusion; Nuclear reactor; Nuclear reprocessing; Oil drilling; Oil platform; Oil refinery; Oil shale; Oil well; Osmotic power – or salinity gradient power – is the energy available from the difference in the salt concentration between seawater and river water. OTEC ...
T-s diagram for the ideal/real ORC. The working principle of the organic Rankine cycle is the same as that of the Rankine cycle: the working fluid is pumped to a boiler where it is evaporated, passed through an expansion device (turbine, [3] screw, [4] scroll, [5] or other expander), and then through a condenser heat exchanger where it is finally re-condensed.
Ocean thermal energy conversion → Relisted. Reh man 02:57, 5 December 2010 (UTC) Ocean thermal energy is an alternative to the above title. Simplifying to that would increase accessibility. We could always use a redirect too. Reh man 06:50, 24 September 2010 (UTC) Oppose. The article isn't about the heat energy sitting in the ocean, it's ...
