Abstract
The Solar Energy Research Institute (SERI) is developing a research experiment to establish the feasibility of producing significant amounts of net power from an open-cycle ocean thermal energy conversion (OC-OTEC) system. This experiment is sized at 165 kW gross and is adequate to evaluate turbine performance and system process interactions at a scale that can be extrapolated to projectedcommercial market entry system sizes of 5-15 MW.
