Deepwater Structures Inc is ready for OTEC renewable Energy Power Plant for Hawaii

Oil and Gas demand has decreased significantly since OBAMA took over USA. Copenhagen made a mark on the earth with green letters as No More CO2 emission allowed on the earth.
Hydrogen can be a clean fuel to run the automoniles. Hydrogen fuel cells are in every body home to power that needed. The entire globe is again going to be renounced with clean energy. Sahara of India can provide the solar enery for the entire Europe.

“The equatorial zone is like an OTEC oil field,” “By putting OTEC plants along the equatorial belt, you can produce all the world’s energy needs.” Far East, Africa, Australia, Hawaii, Florida and Indian economy can boom. Hydrogen can be produced by OTEC power plant with straight forward method. Compressed hydrogen can be supplied to USA and all over the world for Car.
Equator is common water and tap electric energy as much as you want. Using electrolysis, Hydrogen can be produced free of cost by OTEC. Hydrogen is complressed and transoirted to loand for fuel cell and hydrogen car.

India could become the Saudi Arabia of the Far East in energy production, a leading proponent of the alternative energy system known as “OTEC” developed by Deepwater Structures Inc., of Houston, Texas for India Ocean and Bay of Bengal deep ocean environment.

We are ready with our technologically advanced OTEC pwoer plant, said Dr. Nagan Srinivasan, PhD, PE, the VP of Deepwater Structures Inc., Houston, Texas, USA. Lock head estimation of capital cost for 10MW OTEC power plant is 400 million USD. This is not economical for the comertialization of OTEC.

DSI is going to perform the pilot power plant in India for 13 MW unit, cost only $75 million USD.
DSI uses 8 ft diameter pipe. And uses all the well developed deepwater oil and gas technologies into theor new OTEC. Platform can withstand any strom.

In particular, DSI cost of building 100 mega watt unit power plants is almost equal to 10 mega watt unit of Lockheed Martin’s, USA, OTEC power plant. DSI has considerably reduced the cost such that OTEC could be one of the prime sources of energy for the need of the world near equator.

Corrosion, bio-fouling, platform mooring, survivability in severe storms, environmental concerns, working fluid leakages, safety issues, coupling of electrical cable to platform, power transmission through cable are all considered and resolved in our design.

In general, Government of USA would consider tax credits to serve as an incentive/subsidy the 100% green energy, free of CO2. Thus the investor also could tax credit and government could fund partially to support this effort. Local government can get loan from World Bank with reasonable interest rate. This would make this OTEC power plant very attractive and the unit power price cost could reduce. The power plant could be highly profitable in compared to hydro, coal, nuclear, solar and wind based power plant. Considering no operational cost this is very attractive.

The future of OTEC would turn into Hydrogen production platform. Excess electricity produced would be used to separate hydrogen from water with conventional method. Hydrogen fuel, hydrogen cells, hydrogen fuel cars etc are modern applications where the usage of petroleum fuel is reduced. There is a huge application behind in this line of industry that would develop after the power plant and potable water plant. IN that case, the platform can be installed near equator where the OTEC could be more efficient round the year operation in common water and electricity can be produced. The Hydrogen can be produced and transported as compressed stage to land and then used for the car fuels and for hydrogen fuel cells.

Making OTEC cost effective makes the world economy to turn into a new direction and large potential is seen. In that aspect DSI, Houston, Texas has done tremendous work for the world contribution.

OTEC is 100% reliable and very stable plant. It occupy no land space and is designed to withstand 100 years hurricane with our innovative floating vessel. The thermodynamics, flow, pipeline, system design, vessel design had been achieved.

In Indian environment, OTEC is very suitable for the bay of Bengal deep water.

1. 100 MW power plant will be supported by 50 people manned platform with helicopter access and quarters. It costs 450 million USD.

2. 13 MW unit will have unmanned platform with boat landing options. It costs 60 million USD.

3. Desalination could be much cheaper than the conventional.

4. Desalination could be a by product along with power too.

We do the steady of the ocean environment for suitability. We design the OTEC engine for that location. We design the supporting structure. We fabricate the vessel and install the OTEC plant. In the case of the desalination, we use water storage tank inbuilt with the supporting platform. In the case of the, ocean close tot he land, near shore with deep sea within the vicinity, we install land based OTEC power plant and desalination plant also.

5. We own the proprietary of the technology and the drawings. We shall not give the detail drawings to the client. We subcontract detail engineering company and the fabricators. We purchase the equipments our self. We hire the installation company and we do the project management, procurements, vendor selection, pre commissioning. We take 5% for our licensing fee. Licensing is issued for each project and for each unit separately. We also maintain and repairs for the operation with additional charges. The maintenance and operational cost is very minimum. If the owner wants to maintain and operate, we have no problem too. The client have no right to duplicate and manufacture other units them self. For each unit they need license from us.
