Description
Summary:The potency of sea temperature difference between the surface and subsurface below the thermocline that could be converted into electrical energy has been investigated using ocean temperature datasets during January 2009 to December 2009. This study focused on seeking potential site of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) in the Indonesian seas where most water has potential temperature gradient from surface to the bottom. Most potential OTEC resources are located in South Kalimantan and North Sulawesi waters within depth down to 500 m. Furthermore, this study emphasizes for optimizing OTEC utilization in a shallower depth (500 m) should be performed in the future.
