Abstract
Due to industrialization and urbanization, the energy used by humankind is rapidly increasing, and side effects such as global warming and climate change are appearing. In order to respond to these international problems, research on new and renewable energy is continuously being carried out. In this study, OTEC-Heat pump combined cycle for domestic application was studied.BR Electricity was produced by OTEC through the increased surface water temperature and direct cooling using deep water discharge water in the summer were constructed. A heat pump using seawater is at higher temperature than outside air in the winter. In this study, energy cost and carbon dioxide emissions were compared with existing diesel power generation, EHP cooling, and kerosene heating systems. By applying OTEC, it was possible to produce 757.7 MWh of electricity per year, and through direct cooling, it was possible to save 98% of energy compared to EHP and 82% of energy compared to kerosene heating through a seawater heat pump.
