  • Abstract
    One of the important tasks in the Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) development program is to demonstrate the viability of the present technology to satisfactorily design, construct, deploy and operate a large-scale cold water pipe in an at-sea environment. Toward this objective a CWP At-Sea Test Program was initiated to model a 40 MWe CWP at a scale of about one-third. The initial phase I results of this program are presented herein.
