The global Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion(OTEC) Systems market size is expected to reach $ million by 2029, rising at a market growth of % CAGR during the forecast period (2023-2029).
Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) systems are a type of renewable energy technology that harnesses the temperature difference between warm surface waters and cold deep waters in the ocean to produce electricity. OTEC is a clean and sustainable method for generating power, and it operates on the principle of a heat engine. The key components and processes of OTEC systems include:
Warm Seawater Intake: OTEC systems typically draw warm surface seawater into the system. The surface water, which is warmed by solar energy, has a higher temperature compared to the deeper layers of the ocean.
Evaporator: In the evaporator, the warm seawater is used to vaporize a working fluid with a low boiling point, such as ammonia or a mixture of ammonia and water. This process transfers heat from the seawater to the working fluid, causing it to evaporate.
Turbine Generator: The vaporized working fluid is directed to a turbine, where it expands and drives a generator. This mechanical energy is converted into electricity.
Cold Seawater Intake: The vaporized working fluid, after passing through the turbine, is then condensed by cold seawater drawn from the ocean's deeper layers. The cold seawater cools the working fluid, causing it to condense and return to a liquid state.
Condenser: In the condenser, the working fluid releases heat to the cold seawater, facilitating the conversion from vapor to liquid.
Pump: The liquid working fluid is pumped back to the evaporator, where the cycle begins again. The pump consumes some of the electricity generated by the system.
OTEC systems operate on a continuous thermodynamic cycle known as the Rankine cycle. By constantly cycling warm and cold seawater through the system and using the temperature difference to vaporize and condense the working fluid, OTEC systems produce a reliable source of electricity.
OTEC technology has the potential to provide clean and renewable energy, and it has a particularly high energy density compared to other renewable sources. It is most effective in tropical and subtropical regions with a significant temperature differential between surface and deep ocean waters. OTEC systems can be designed for onshore, nearshore, or offshore installations, and they have the added benefit of producing fresh, potable water as a byproduct through desalination processes.
