But it will become more and more competitive as natural gas and coal prices inevitably go up, up, up, and away (after all is depleted)

A question to ... ( 3 months ago by the13joker)

A question to JTPlocek. Is it safer for the eviroment? does it produce any harm to the oceans at all? What are the disadvantages of this systems? and whe will it be implemented in Puerto Rico?

OTEC is one of the ... ( 3 months ago by TJPlocek)

OTEC is one of the safest power systems. A comparison of various power systems is in our recent presentation to CIAPR posted on our offinf web site.
The primary disadvantage is the high initial cost, but if they are made in Puerto Rico, this will create large numbers of good jobs.

Why expensive cable? The produced electricity can be converted (on side) in hydrogen...

Few question i have ... ( 2 months ago by WOLFMAN1469)

Few question i have about the system. using your graphical design as a reference, wouldnt the cold water need to be continuosly pumped up from the depths? how would you maintain the flow and the tempature of the water? what is the expected life span and maintainence cost of the equipment seeing that the salt water creates a highly crosive enviroment and what are the effects OF barnicles or ON other sea life

A cable to shore is ... ( 2 months ago by TJPlocek)

A cable to shore is much less expensive than hydrogen generation for initial near shore OTEC units.

Cold deep water is ... ( 2 months ago by TJPlocek)

Cold deep water is continually generated in Artic and Antartic Oceans and flows as described in the video. It is continuously pumped to the heat exchangers using part of the electricity generated. Life span is expected to be over 25 years with routine maintainence. Corrosion resistant alloys and mild methods to prevent bioaccumulation of barnacles and other sea life have been developed.

Can this OTEC system be able to function anywhere else besides the example in Puerto Rico? Preferably in the Pacific Ocean?

yes, there are experimental plants in Hawaii and possible plans for new plants in the pacific.

How much will be ... ( 1 month ago by rubentoabaja)

How much will be the cost to build this in Puerto Rico? (100 mega watts plant). This 800 millions kilowatts are monthly or how often. what other use o benefits that we have as a result of this process. who are the builders of this technology.

Sorry it took so long. Just noticed the reply. I'm not being a pessimist. I'm being a realist. PR is great at building things, but not so at maintaining them. Maybe future governments will make the effort; all I said was that it was not going to happen in my lifetime. I'd love to see it happen... but I know I won't. Maybe my kids? Grandkids?

sounds like Puerto Rico would be taken care of, no problem. What about the rest of the world? Also, what's the cost of building and maintaining the platform?

This has vast potential throughout the tropics between about 20 degrees north and 20 degrees south latitud. The Pacific and Indian Oceans are also great locations.

I used to live in Patillas right next to the deep water drop off. We built a small factory which can still be seen on Google Earth just West of Punta Mala Pascua.

The units are more expensive than conventional but have no fuel cost. Each 100 MW unit would save 1.3 million barrels of oil each year and has a useful life of over 30 years. The 800 million kWh is over the course of a year.

I don't see anything on OTEC.

PREPA has announced that it is reviewing an OTEC proposal and perhaps will be making an announcement soon. However, the first large unit will take around 5 years to become operational. I know about the maintainance issues in Puerto Rico but I overcame them in a small chemical plant that I build during the 1970's. Also, all the pharmaceutical plants are well maintained as are may other facilities and buildings.
