This document presents the progress of the simulation of the Curtis type turbine for a prototype of a 1 kWe OTEC plant using the Ansys Fluent program, and compares its operating parameters with those calculated in the theoretical design, mainly the power output and its efficiency. For the simulation of the turbine, the operating conditions of the closed thermodynamic cycle of the OTEC plant were used; This will allow optimizing the times and costs of laboratory experimentation, establishing a methodology that will serve as the basis for future analyzes of the design characteristics of turbines and similar devices for ocean energy utilization systems.
