Abstract
Developing ocean energy extraction, including ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC), has been of interest to researchers for many decades. OTEC is a free fuel technology and could be used as a baseline power generation. These advantages plus the engineering challenge have resulted in researchers striving to design and construct prototype devices. Making use of worldwide experience, all sections of a conceptual design including site selection, technical specifications and cost estimation were carried out for an Iranian OTEC power plant. A 5 MW closed cycle floating plant with an annual average temperature difference of 22°C was chosen at a 33 km distance from Chabahar harbour. Deep seawater...

Abstract
The ocean thermal energy conversion system is one of a variety of renewable marine energy that is made up of a thermodynamic cycle, and it uses the difference between the temperature of hot water at the ocean surface and cold water at the depths of the ocean to generate electricity. The closed cycle is one type in which the system uses a working fluid which its boiling point less than the boiling point of water. Increasing the temperature of the fluid inlet in the cycle increases the system efficiency, which has been applied in this study to increase the efficiency of the OTEC system. The required energy to increase this temperature has been achieved by adding a solar collector to this...
