Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion Research on an Engineering Evaluation and Test Program. Volume IV. Test Program Plan.

摘要

The purpose of this report is to outline an incremental test program whose objectives are twofold: (1) to provide solutions to the critical issues such as biofouling,heat exchanger performance,cold water pipe characteristics including pipe attachment and deployment,and plant interaction with the environment such as disturbance of the thermocline; (2) to provide design data,not obtainable solely by analyses,required for the successful design and construction of Ocean thermal energy conversion plants.
