Question

explain ocean thermal energy?

Answer 1

$\bold{\huge{\fbox{\color{maroon}{ANSWER}}}}$

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion uses the ocean thermal gradient between cooler deep and warmer shallow or surface seawaters to run a heat engine and produce useful work, usually in the form of electricity. OTEC can operate with a very high capacity factor and so can operate in base load mode.
