Abstract
This paper describes a small land based closed cycle Ocean Thermal Energy Plant which is being designed to supply deep nutrient rich sea water to an aquaculture facility and to produce a net electric power output of up to 300 kW. In addition the plant will also demonstrate a small air condenser for producing potable water at a rate of 2650 US gallons per day. The work is being done for ALCAN International and the plan is to build and operate such a plant at Keahole Point in Hawaii.
