Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion
The two most common OTEC systems are: closed-cycle and open-cycle. Both of these systems require a working fluid, condenser and evaporator within the system. [1] Closed-Cycle OTEC. In order for the OTEC to work it needs a heat source, which is the warm surface water, and a heat sink, which is the cold deep water. [2]
