1MW OTEC 플랜트의 경제성 분석 연구

Abstract

The ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) converts the temperature difference between the deep seawater and surface water into the mechanical energy to generate the electric power. Therefore, the available resource is abundant. In this study, Economic feasibility analysis was conducted for the research and development as follows on the use of ocean thermal energy conversion. In the case of power generation using deep seawater and surface water from ocean thermal energy conversion plant of 1MW level, it is judged that the economic feasibility is insufficient. But the feasibility will be significantly improved if we consider not only power generation but also and certified emission reduction by developing the power plant to the size for commercialization.tudy, Economic feasibility analysis was conducted for the research and development as follows on the use of ocean thermal energy conversion.
