Abstract

S operation of a Solar Sea Power Plant (SSPP) requires that the warm water intake draws water only from the top mixed layer of the ocean. This requirement places an upper limit Qmax, upon the warm water intake. In this paper, Qmax is calculated as a function of thickness of the upper mixed layer, the ocean current velocity, and the site latitude. Typically, this upper limit corresponds to a maximum electrical power output of some thousands of megawatts.
