A cold water supply for an Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) system comprises a turbine driven pump at the base of a cold water hose. Fluid for driving the turbine is supplied via a second hose. Because water is pumped from the base of the pipe, it is under positive pressure so a flexible hose can be used in place of a conventional Cold Water Pipe (CWP). The use of a turbine driven pump avoids the need to use an electric motor at the base of the pipe. |
