At the present time, despite the fact that OTEC systems have no fuel costs and can produce useful by-products, the high initial cost of building such power plants makes OTEC generated electricity more expensive than conventional alternatives. …
How many OTEC plants are there in the world?
How many types of OTEC plants are there? Explanation: There are three types of ocean thermal energy plants. They are closed cycle systems, open cycle ocean thermal energy conversion and hybrid ocean thermal energy conversion. Explanation: Closed cycle system uses the fluid having low boiling points.
What are the disadvantages of ocean thermal energy?
- Capital investment is very high.
- Conversion efficiency is very low about 3-4% due to the small temperature difference between the surface water and deep water.
- The low efficiency of these plants coupled with high capital cost and maintenance cost makes them uneconomical for small plants.
