Question

write about ocean thermal energy?

Answer 1

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is a process that can produce electricity by using the temperature difference between deep cold ocean water and warm tropical surface waters. OTEC plants pump large quantities of deep cold seawater and surface seawater to run a power cycle and produce electricity.

Answer 2

The ocean thermal energy is the energy that is derived from the phenomenon of ocean waves and layers having different temperature levels.  

Explanation:  

• This different temperature levels of the ocean's surface and depth is due to the sun’s heat that falls on the surface and heats it more but does not permeate to the level of the ocean floor.
• The energy disparity is used to obtain electricity through a process known as the OTEC or the energy conversion process.
• These OTEC powerhouses pump the cold water and the hot water to run the cycle of power and generate thermal energy.
