Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) power plant. ... the ocean is, for all practical purposes, an infinite heat source, converting and storing the incident solar energy from the sun in the form of warm surface water. The warm water is pumped through an evaporator containing a working fluid in a closed Rankine-cycle system. The vaporized working fluid drives a gas turbine which provides the plants power. 1, record 1, English, - ocean%20thermal%20energy%20conversion%20power%20plant
