# 60 > OTEC DESIGNS -- DON'T MISS THESE ! Green houses, Floating Power Plants on Barges and Platforms

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEE http://h2omf.blogspot.com/ http://alaskaenergypolicy.blogspot.com
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hawaii has an OTEC facility which has been around for many years.. I have the designs for an in ocean floating power generation platform.. as large as an offshore oil platform...

Techniques of ocean thermal energy conversion are summarized, along with the development status of the required power system and ocean system components. The worldwide ocean thermal resource is assessed as a function of geography and time. Environmental impacts and siting considerations are treated. Diverse commercial market applications of OTEC are summarized, based upon the two key options for OTEC of providing electricity by submarine cable and of manufacturing energy-intensive products for shipment to dispersed markets. By-products of OTEC such as fresh water and nutrients for mariculture are discussed. 1982, Robert Cohen (33 pages).
