Abstract
Depletion of fossil fuels and gasoline, and their effect on the global climate, necessitate the need for an alternative source of energy. Approximately 170,000 TW of solar radiation fall on the earth’s surface and is not fully utilized. Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is a method of electricity generation using solar radiation.
