Summary
This lecture deals primarily with the two ocean energy subjects with which the speaker and his colleagues at The Johns Hopkins University, Applied Physics Laboratory are most familiar: (1) Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) plants, which use the temperature difference (..delta..T) between warm and cold water to drive a heat engine and thence generate electricity, and (2) a Pneumatic Wave Energy Conversion System (PWECS) in which a wave-driven oscillating air column in a chamber drives a turbine-generator. A brief summary is also presented on the Dam-Atoll wave energy concept. For Pakistan, interest in OTEC might be directed mainly toward use of OTEC power onboard cruising plantships to make ammonia (for fertilizers), methanol (for vehicle fuel and for electric power regeneration ashore) and other energy-intensive products.
