Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion

OTEC stands for Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion. It use a temperature difference (20 -°C) between the upper layer of ocean surface and bottom layer of ocean surface is required to run the turbine to generate an electricity. Ocean covered 70% of earth's surface which is abundant form of solar collector and solar storage capacity. Ocean has an abundant form of renewable source of energy which has a potential to fulfill billions of watts of electricity.

Now a days, OTEC is required to generate electricity due to sky rocketing price of oil, natural gas and coal. The objective was how to minimize the cost of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion Plant.
