Description (excerpt):
This report describes the ocean thermal resource and the conventional methods for extracting energy from it. It then takes the reader through each step of the project, detailing the data processing, modeling and validation efforts employed. This is followed by a discussion of OTEC plant spacing and sustainability. Finally it delivers the results of this resource assessment and development of the visualization tool to be used in bringing those results to the public in an interactive presentation.
