The Deep Sea Water and Heat Energy of Thermoelectric Generation Study

Abstract

This study is a preliminary evaluation of the potential for using deep sea water and solar energy (or hot-spring water) source to economic benefits of thermoelectric power in Taiwan. we investigated that solar energy and high temperature spring water was replaced to the surface sea water to increase the temperature difference (70~85oC). Use of innovative, green, renewable energy resource enables the City (Town) to reduce its demand for electricity by approximately 0.5 million kilowatt hours annually (reduction of up to 65 per cent compared to conventional power system, reduced electricity demand and consequently lower emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases.) We propose an energy-balanced mathematical model considering thermal sources and heat effects to precisely evaluate the capacity of thermoelectric power systems. The research is low temperature of the use the deep ocean water establishes thermoelectric power system, applies the building already some power system in the substitution, not can only enrich DSW the multi-dimensional use, can gain the energy conservation to reduce the carbon essence benefit.
