• Ocean thermal energy conversion — Temperature differences between the surface and 1000m depth in the oceans Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) uses the difference between cooler deep and warmer shallow or surface ocean waters to run a heat engine and produce useful work,… …   Wikipedia

• Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion — Ein Meereswärmekraftwerk gewinnt elektrischen Strom aus dem Temperaturunterschied zwischen kalten und warmen Wassermassen in unterschiedlichen Tiefen der Meere. International gebräuchlich für diese Art der Erneuerbaren Energie ist die Abkürzung… …   Deutsch Wikipedia

• Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion — (OTEC)   The process or technologies for producing energy by harnessing the temperature differences (thermal gradients) between ocean surface waters and that of ocean depths. Warm surface water is pumped through an evaporator containing a working …   Energy terms

• Energy storage — is the storing of some form of energy that can be drawn upon at a later time to perform some useful operation. A device that stores energy is sometimes called an accumulator. All forms of energy are either potential energy (eg. chemical,… …   Wikipedia

• Ocean dynamics — define and describe the motion of water within the oceans. Ocean temperature and motion fields can be separated into three distinct layers: mixed (surface) layer, upper ocean (above the thermocline), and deep ocean. Ocean dynamics has… …   Wikipedia

• Ocean reanalysis — is an method of combining historical ocean observations with a general ocean model (typically a computational model) driven by historical estimates of surface winds, heat, and freshwater, by way of a data assimilation algorithm to reconstruct… …   Wikipedia

• Ocean pressure electric conversion — is an electricity generation and seawater desalination technology based on water pressure differences created by depth. It operates on the principle that the difference between water pressure at depth, or hydrostatic pressure, and normal… …   Wikipedia
