Resumen

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC, Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion) is a technology that uses the temperature difference between surface seawater and subsurface seawater (up to 1000 m) to produce electrical energy through the Rankine thermodynamic cycle [1]. Mexico has vast potential for OTEC development [2,3], for this reason, the development of OTEC plant prototypes is of great interest in order to contribute to demand energy supply and to reduce fossil fuels consumption for energy generation. With the support of the Mexican Centre for Renewable Energy of the Ocean (CEMIE-O, in Spanish), it was implemented and tested the Mexican closed-cycle OTEC prototype (OTEC-CC-MX-1kWe) to produce 1 kW of electricity at lab level (TRL-6). It is worth mentioning that this prototype was designed according to Mexican Caribbean Sea temperature conditions, and it is planned to function as a testing facility for OTEC development. Figure 1 presents the diagram of piping and Instrumentation of the OTEC-CC-MX-1kWe plant prototype.
