(1.5 pts) Powering the Future from Ocean Depths Did you know that the temperature difference between deep and surface ocean waters could power our future? Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is an innovative renewable energy technology that harnesses this temperature gradient to generate electricity. This remarkable system operates by using warm surface waters to vaporize a working fluid, which drives a turbine to produce power, while cold deep water helps condense the fluid back to its liquid state. OTEC plants offer multiple benefits beyond power generation. They can produce fresh drinking water as a beneficial by-product and support aquaculture operations. Additionally, these facilities operate
24/7, unlike solar or wind power, providing a consistent base load power supply for coastal communities. However, OTEC faces several challenges. Current installation costs are significantly higher compared to other renewable energy sources. The technology requires extensive infrastructure, including long pipes to reach cold deep water. Environmental concerns also exist, such as the impact on marine ecosystems and potential thermal pollution. Despite these challenges, OTEC's future looks promising. Advances in materials science and engineering are reducing construction costs. Several countries, including Japan and Hawaii, are investing in OTEC research and development, recognizing its potential in their renewable energy portfolios. 23. OTEC technology relies on temperature differences between surface and deep ocean waters. 24. OTEC plants can only operate during daylight hours. 25. The main challenge for OTEC implementation is the lack of suitable ocean locations. 26. New developments in materials science are helping to make OTEC more cost-effective. 27. According to the passage, which additional benefit does OTEC provide besides electricity generation? A. Wind power generation B. Fresh water production C. Solar power storage D. D. Tidal energy harvesting 28. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a challenge for OTEC technology? A. High installation costs B. Environmental impacts C. Extensive infrastructure requirements D. Limited operating temperature range V. Use the correct form of the word given in each sentence. (1.5 pts) 29.
