Hydrogen and alternative means of energy delivery from ocean thermal energy conversion /OTEC/ plants
Abstract
In the present paper, a concise technical assessment and economic analysis are made of components associated with the conversion, storage, transportation, and shore-based receiving facilities for the conversion of OTEC mechanical energy to chemical energy and, in some cases, conversion of delivered chemical energy to electricity. Particular attention is given to the equipment, capital and operating costs, and efficiencies of converting the delivered hydrogen and ammonia into electricity.
