OTEC uses temperature difference between the sea surface and the deep ocean to rotate a generator turbine to produce electrical energy. The pumping can also be generated using solar and wind energy. This system is called Solar-Wind-Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (SWOTEC). The sea surface is heated continuously by sunlight from surface up to 100 m. OTEC is capable of generating electricity day and night, throughout the year, providing a reliable source of electricity. OTEC is one of the world’s largest renewable energy resources and is available to around the tropical countries as shown in Figure.1.

Figure 1: Distribution of the OTEC potential around the world [OTEC Foundation]. 1.2 Multi Functionality of OTEC Besides electricity production, OTEC plants Figure 2 can be used to support air-conditioning, Seawater District Cooling (SDC), or aquaculture purposes. OTEC plants can also produce fresh water. In Open-Cycle OTEC plants, fresh water can be obtained from the evaporated warm seawater after it has passed through the turbine, and in Hybrid-Cycle OTEC plants it can be obtained from the discharged seawater used to condense the vapour fluid.

Another option is to combine power generation with the production of desalinated water. In this case, OTEC power production may be used to provide electricity for a desalination plant. It is nearly 2.28 million litres of desalinated water can be obtained every day for every megawatt of power generated by a hybrid OTEC system [Magesh, 2010].

The production of fresh water alongside electricity production is particularly relevant for small and remote islands with water scarcity and where water is produced by the desalination process [Koto, 2016 & 2017]. Indonesia as an island nation with a tourism industry, fresh water is also important to support water consumption in the hotels. Based on a case study in the Bahamas, Muralidharan (2012) calculated that an OTEC plant could produce freshwater at costs of around USD 0.89/kgallon. In comparison, the costs for large scale seawater desalination technologies range from USD 2.6/k gallon to 4.0/ kgallon.

Given that deep seawater is typically free of pathogens and contaminants, whilst being rich in nutrients (nitrogen, phosphates, etc.), land-based systems could further benefit from the possibility of using the deep seawater for parallel applications, such as cooling for buildings and infrastructure, chilled soil, or seawater cooled greenhouses for agriculture, and enhanced aquaculture among other synergetic uses.

Using deep seawater to cool buildings in district cooling configurations can provide a large and efficient possibility for overall electricity reduction in coastal areas, helping to balance the peak demands in electricity as well as the overall energy demand.

Figure 2: Several advantages of OTEC [Koto, 2016 & 2017]. 1.3 OTEC in the World OTEC have installed in certain countries as follows. Saga, Japan produces 30 kW which was operated since 1980 with the purpose of research and development as shown in Figure 3. Kumejima, Japan produces 100 KW with grid connected operated since 2013 with the purpose of research and development and for electricity production as shown in Figure 4.

Figure 5: The Ocean Energy Research Center in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii [Makai, 2015] 2.0 OCEAN THERMAL ENERGY CONVERSION 2.1 OTEC Process System Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is a marine renewable energy technologies that harness the sun's energy is absorbed by the oceans to produce electricity. hot sun warms the surface water a lot more than sea water, which creates a natural temperature gradient provided the sea, or thermal energy.

OTEC is an extremely clean and sustainable technology and in some cases will even produce desalinized water as a byproduct.

Like any alternative form of energy generation OTEC has its advantages and disadvantages, but it nonetheless a feasible means to achieve a future of sustainable power.

OTEC uses warm water at sea level with temperatures around 25 °C to vaporize a working fluid, which has a low boiling point, such as ammonia. Steam expands and rotating turbine coupled to a generator to produce electricity. The vapour is then cooled by seawater pumped from deeper ocean layers, where temperatures around 5 °C. The working fluid that condenses is back into a liquid, so it can be reused. It is a continuous cycle power plant. These power plants face many engineering challenges. They require deep-water sources so are only useful around coastal regions and islands. Additionally, the pumping of ocean water from up to 300 meter deep requires a large diameter pipeline. Dealing with ocean conditions is also often difficult in executing an OTEC power plant. The offshore location of these plants means they must be located on floating barges, fixed platforms, or deep beneath the sea.

There are four main types of OTEC as shown in Figure 6 [Jaswar]. All four types of OTEC can be land-based, sea-based, or based on floating platforms. The former has greater installation costs for both piping and land-use. The floating platform installation has comparatively lower land use and impact, but requires grid cables to be installed to land and has higher construction and maintenance costs. Finally, hybrid constructions combine OTEC plants with an additional construction that increases the temperature of the warm ocean water.

Figure 6: Types of OTEC

2.1.1 Open Cycle OTEC Warmer surface water is introduced through a valve in a low pressure compartment and flash evaporated. The vapour drives a generator and is condensed by the cold seawater pumped up from below. The condensed water can be collected and because it is fresh water, used for various purposes. Additionally, the cold seawater pumped up from below, after being used to facilitate condensation, can be introduced in an air-conditioning system. As such, systems can produce power, fresh water and air-conditioning. Furthermore, the cold water can potentially be used for aquaculture purposes, as the seawater from the deeper regions

close to the seabed contains various nutrients, like nitrogen and phosphates 2.1.2 Closed Cycle OTEC Surface water, with higher temperatures, is used to provide heat to a working fluid with a low boiling temperature, hence providing higher vapour pressure. Most commonly ammonia is used as a working fluid, although propylene and refrigerants have also been studied [Bharathan, 2011]. The vapour drives a generator that produces electricity; the working fluid vapour is then condensed by the cold water from the deep ocean and pumped back in a closed system. The major difference between open and closed cycle systems is the much smaller duct size and smaller turbines diameters for closed cycle, as well as the surface area required by heat exchangers for effective heat transfer. Closed conversion cycles offer a more efficient use of the thermal resource (Lewis, et al., 2011). 2.1.3 Kalina Cycle OTEC The Kalina cycle is a variation of a closed cycle OTEC, whereby instead of pure ammonia, a mixture of water and ammonia is used as the working fluid. Such a mixture lacks a boiling point, but instead has a boiling point trajectory. More of the provided heat is taken into the working fluid during evaporation and therefore, more heat can be converted and efficiencies are enhanced. 2.1.4 Hybrid OTEC Hybrid systems combine both the open and closed cycles where the steam generated by flash evaporation is then used as heat to drive a closed cycle. First, electricity is generated in a closed cycle system as described above. Subsequently, the warm seawater discharges from the closed-cycled OTEC is flash

evaporated similar to an open-cycle OTEC system, and cooled with the cold water discharge. This produces fresh water. 2.2 Carnot Theory Ocean thermal between water surface and water depth must be converted to reach maximum output from its thermal. The OTEC efficiency value can be calculated using the equation of Carnot efficiency.

� ���������

���� (1)

where: � is Carnot efficiency, ���� is an absolute temperature of the surface water, ���� is an absolute temperature of the deep water

The efficiency of the cycle is determined by the temperature difference. The greater the temperature difference, the higher the efficiency. This technology is therefore worth especially in equatorial regions where differential temperatures throughout the year are at least 20 0C. 3.0 POTENTIAL OTEC IN INDONESIA 3.1 Sea Temperature Indonesia is the tropical oceans country, approximately defined by latitudes less than 20 degrees, may be thought of as enormous passive solar collectors. As the Indonesia has 77 % of total area covered by the ocean, OTEC can be done effectively and on a large scale to provide a source of renewable energy that is needed to cover a wide range of energy issues.

Note: Light blue notation states that the depth is less than 200m and dark blue color indicates depth of more than 1000 m

Figure 7: Bathymetry map of Indonesia [NOAA-AVHRR, 2010]

The map of Bathymetry Indonesia as shown in Figure 7 and Table shows that western part of Indonesian waters such as the Mentawai and Nias islands, Selat Makassar and Southern Jawa and eastern part of Indonesian waters such as the Banda Islands, Northern part of Sulawesi, Halmahera and Northern Papua have deep depths of sea water. All of these waters have the potential for the development of ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC).

In addition, the western and eastern part of Indonesia has a steeply sloping morphology of the seabed with various shapes such as sandbags, with a water depth of more than 600 meters, resulting in the potential utilization of thermal energy (OTEC). The efficient development of OTEC is in areas of small islands that have potential for marine tourism areas not yet accessible to electricity facilities. The temperature change in two seasons (east and west monsoons) is relatively small influence in Indonesian waters. Based on satellite data [NOAA-AVHRR, 2010] indicated that the change between summer and spring east west between 10 – 20 C. 3.2 Sea Thermocline Indonesian waters have a unique natural state, the topography is diverse. Because it is the liaison between two oceanic systems of the Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean as shown in Figure 8, then the nature and condition is influenced by both oceans, especially the Pacific Ocean. This effect can be seen, among others, on the

distribution of water masses, currents, tides and water fertility. In addition to the second influence of both oceans. The state of the season also affects the nature and condition of the waters here, for example the waters of the Selat Makassar, the Banda Sea, the Flores Sea and the Sulawesi Sea.

Change of monsoon winds that change regularly marked by blowing wind monsoon in turn has a direct impact on changes the physical properties of seawater. In general, monsoon winds are not only affecting territorial waters of Indonesia, but also in Southeast Asia. The wind is blowing over Southeast Asia proved to have a great influence on the movement of water masses in Indonesian waters, especially in the southern Selat Makasar, Java Sea and Sea Flores. Because the monsoon turns back two times a year, then so too it is for the sea water in Indonesia, at least in the upper layers of the thermocline.

4.0 POTENTIAL OTEC IN SELAT MAKASSAR 3.3 Geography of Selat Makassar Selat Makassar is a strait located between the islands of Kalimantan and Sulawesi in Indonesia as shown in Figure 9. This strait also connects the Sulawesi Sea in the north with the Jawa Sea to the south. Selat Makassar is in deep sea category and is one of the archipelagic sea lanes of Indonesia. The main port cities in this strait are Balikpapan, Makassar, and Palu, Polewali, and Majene.

Figure 9: Schematic of the OTEC potential in Selat Makasar, Indonesia. [Right] The solid grey lines mark the approximate pathway of the Makassar through-flow [Left], [Gordon, 2008].

The entry of low-salinity water masses from the mainland of the island of Kalimantan and Sulawesi, as well as the exchange the mass of water by the Pacific Ocean through the Sulawesi Sea, Flores Sea and the Jawa Sea affects the level of primary productivity in Selat Makassar waters. Pattern of Sea Surface Spreading in the southern part of Selat Makassar in December-February (west season) is a relatively high spread of temperature that is in the range of 29-31 ºC [Dwi Fajriyati, 2015].

In the beginning of the period of the east season in May began to look symptomatic decrease in temperature in the southern part of Selat Makassart. The decline is even more visible in June and July that indicate the presence of symptoms of upwelling beginnings. In July-August phenomenon this is increasingly apparent with a clearly stratified temperature spread pattern across the southern part of the Selat Makassar. 3.4 Sea Temperature Profile The water of the Selat Makassar shows a fairly high temperature especially on the surface layer as shown in Figure 10. Sea water temperature was measured using research vessels Geomarin-3 with CTD equipment system. Because the influence of the wind, then the top layer to a certain depth, the depth of 50 - 100 meters occur stirring and mixing, so the temperature at the layer of 0-100

meters become homogeneous. In October 2009, BPPT has conducted sea temperature

measurement at West of Sulawesi Barat-Sulawesi Tengah. They founded that the difference in surface temperature with subsurface water (at -450 m) was 21 0C.

Figure 12 shows profile of mean monthly temperature on

surface and deep water in Selat Makassar, Based on the figure the average value of surface temperature in the Sulawesi Utara was 29.22 °C, the temperature at 500 meter depth was 6.44 °C and difference temperature between surface and deep sea was 22.78 °C.

Figure 11: Mean monthly surface and deep seawater temperature profile at Selat Makasar-Indonesia.

3.4 Sea Current Profiles Sea water circulation at the surface layer is strongly influenced by monsoon wind in which the pattern circulation changes according to wind patterns. During the west monsoon currents the surface moves in the main direction from west to east and in season east going the opposite as shown in Figures 8 and 9. Geographical position also affects the movement of surface currents in the waters of the Selat Makassar.

In the Selat Makassar the sea current flows throughout the year to the south and with moderate speed. The velocity profile as shown Figure 13.a-2, left) displays a distinct thermocline maximum (� ����) between 0 to 300 m [Gordon, 2008]. The profile varies with season: the greater � ���� during July-August-September (JAS) profile during Southeast monsoon, relative to the January-February-March (JFM) profile during Northwest monsoon.

The JAS and JFM profiles reverse their relative position at depths below 220 db, indicating a deeper reaching Makassar throughflow during the Northwest monsoon. The time series section of the along-axis current as shown Figure 9, right further displays the depth dependence of the � ����, with a tendency for the higher speeds as the v-max shallows. The � ���� deepens during the northwest monsoon, February-March 2004, March-April 2005 and February-April 2006; with the shallowest v-max during the southeast monsoon, July-September 2004, 2005 and 2006. The thermocline v-max displays a semi-annual fluctuation, with highest values within the middle to latter stage of each monsoon: February-April 2004, July-September 2004, March-April 2005, August-September 2005, February-March 2006, June-September 2006. The strong southward speeds in 2006 stand out as an anomaly, lacking the May/June throughflow relaxation as observed in the two prior years. The period of sustained throughflow begins rather abruptly in early February 2006, spanning a wide swath of depths, from the sea surface to well below the thermocline.

In the simulation, the principal components are the heat

evaporator, condenser, turbine and generator, and seawater supply system. They did not included ancillary devices such as separators to remove residual liquid downstream of the evaporator and subsystems to hold and supply working fluid lost through leaks or contamination.

Figure 15 shows results of simulation for 1 MW of Net Output Power (NOP) in Selat Makassar in Indonesia. In the simulation, the inlet surface and deep sea water temperatures are 28 and 6.2 0C, respectively. Heat transfer from high temperature occurs in the evaporator, producing saturated ammonia.

The results simulation shows that the suitable mass flow rate of the working fluid is 40 kg/sec. The surface and deep seawater flow rates were founded 4 & 4.4 ton/sec. The simulation shows several founding as follow:

Long Mean Temperature Difference (LMTD) is 18.71. The OTEC system can produce 0.21 km2 of green-house cooling system. The system can produce 14036 m3 per day of fresh water for drink after distillation. The system can also produce 15595 kg per second seawater which can be used for fish farming. The Carnot efficiency of ammonia saturation is 6 percent. The cycle efficiency of ammonia saturation is 0.17 percent. Drag of cold pipe is higher at water level of 0-300 meter with maximum at 100 meter under sea level and during July-September.
