Question 1

In the context of ocean energy conversion, ‘T’ in OTEC stands for:
1. Thermodynamic
2. Technological
3. Thermal
4. Tidal

Question 2

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Thermal

The correct answer is Thermal.

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is a marine renewable energy technology that harnesses the solar energy absorbed by the oceans to generate electric power.
Jacques-Arsène d’Arsonval in 1880s developed the OTEC concept.
During the 1970s and ’80s the United States, Japan, and several other countries began experimenting with OTEC systems in an effort to develop a viable source of renewable energy.
The first OTEC plant was a closed-cycle system mounted on a U.S. Navy barge by American researchers in 1979 was able to generate about 15 kilowatts of net power.
