Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) uses warm surface water to produce steam (using either ammonia or a vacuum) to generate electricity. Cooler deep water then cools the system and the cycle continues. Enough electricity is produced to drive the pumps and the excess is exported to the grid.
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
(are few)
Thermal energy can be used in generating electricityNon-polluting, so doesn't cause global warming.Free, renewable and never-ending
Ocean thermal energy requires close to 40 degrees Fahrenheit difference of water temperature all year round. Also construction of laying pipes can cause damage to the eco system
Oceanic thermal energy is the heat energy that is stored by the water in the ocean.
Ocean energy is clean, renewable, and can be collected in many places. There are three types of ocean energy, so you can choose to get energy from any of them. The three ways are:a) wave energyb) tidal energyc) ocean thermal energy conversion (temperature differences in the water)My Sources:My Science TextbookMy Teacherhttp://www.energyquest.ca.gov/story/chapter14.htmlHOPE I HELPED!!!!!!!!!!the advantages are that it does not cause polution
Thermal energy.
It is to be employed
No, thermal energy is the last form of energy degradation. All energy will eventually transformed to thermal energy. Even the motion of wave (kinetic energy) would eventually loss through shear and friction and transformed to thermal energy.

we can't get it every time because of the ocean tidal there not always there
