“…Researchers hve attempted to address this challenge by using computer-assisted analytical methods, complemented by laboratory and at-sea tests [104]. High-density polyethene pipes can be used for onshore plants, as long as the diameter is less than 1.6 m [105]. In offshore plants, steel or concrete pipes can be used; however, the costs are considerably increased.…”

Research into renewable energy is an active field of research, with photovoltaic and wind being the most representative technologies. A promising renewable energy source is Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC), based on the temperature gradient of seawater. This technology has two contradictory features, as its efficiency is relatively low while, on the other hand, its energy source is almost unlimited. OTEC research has focused on optimizing energy extraction, with different techniques having been used for this purpose. This article presents a review of the advances and applications of OTEC technology around the world. Throughout the document, the different uses of deep seawater are analyzed; further, the current systems which generate energy through the marine temperature gradient are reviewed, and the main advantages and disadvantages of each method are highlighted. The technical operations, construction variations, and the projects that have been developed around the world and those which are in the planning phase are also detailed. The two main conclusions are that this technology is still under development, but it is quite promising, especially for regions with little access to drinking water. Second, given the high implementation costs and low conversion efficiency, the development of this technology must be sponsored by governments.

This paper investigates the simulation of a hybrid desalination system composed of multi-effect evaporation with thermal vapour compression desalination (METVC) and reverse osmosis (RO) plant. The hybrid desalination system is also integrated with a gas turbine power plant through a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG). First, a comprehensive Thermodynamic model for HRSG, METVC, and RO are developed for predicting thermal behaviour of hybrid desalination system. Depending on the interconnection between input and output streams of METVC and RO, six configurations are proposed, and their results are compared in two different scenarios. In the first scenario, METVC desalination production is fixed at its maximum capacity of 70000 m 3 /day. The heat potential of power plants is fully extracted at maximum capacity of production of METVC. In the second scenario, METVC desalination production is not fixed. The limitation on the total production of the desalination plant (METVC+RO) is imposed as a constraint to the optimization problem. The results show that, regardless of the scenario under consideration, cconfiguration 1(the outlet water of the cooling system in METVC has been used for the feed water of the RO system) has the minimum energy consumption as well as maximum exergy efficiency.
