Assessment of the OTEC cold water pipe design under bending loading: A benchmarking and parametric study using finite element approach
Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) is a floating platform that generates electricity from seawater heat. The cold water pipe (CWP) used in OTEC has a length of 1,000 m and a diameter of 10 m, making it susceptible to bending loads from ocean currents. To find suitable geometry and material for t...
