ABSTRACT:
A power generation system of the ocean thermal energy conversion type including one of a closed or open system and a working fluid capable of undergoing a change in state from a liquid to a vapor state and back to the liquid state after expansion. The system includes an evaporator and a condenser, and a liquid line communicating a liquid (ocean water) at a required temperature to cause condensation of the working fluid after the working fluid has been evaporated and expanded through a turbine. The liquid line in communication with cold water is characterized by a well disposed in solid land adjacent the ocean and the direct supply of water either comprising a working fluid or for evaporating the working fluid. Water flow from the system may be released to an aquaculture preserve.
