Question

List three forms in which energy from ocean can be used.
Explain briefly the working of OTEC plant

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) 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.. The denser cold water masses, formed by ocean surface water interaction

Answer 2

Answer:

THE THREE FORMS OF ENERGY ARE OCEAN THERMAL ENERGY,TIDAL ENERGY AND WAVE ENERGY.

THE OTEC PLANTS USE THE OCEAN HEAT AND USE IT TO BOIL WATER AND THE STEAM IS USED TO TURN TURBINE TO PRODUCE ELECTRICITY.

THE OCEAN SURFACE WATER BECOMES HOT DURING DAY TIME AND THE LOWER WATER IS COLD WHICH IS USED TO CONDENSE THE STEAM BACK INYO WATER
