Creating a "SIDS Model:" OTEC as a Catalyst for Climate Resilient Communities
Dr. Prof. Yasuyuki Ikeagami, Director of Institute of Ocean Energy, Saga University, Japan
ExCo Chair of Ocean Thermal Energy Association (OTEA)
Dr. Ikeagmi has researched the optimization of OTEC systems, heat exchangers (the condenser and the evaporator) for OTEC, and by-products of OTEC, for more than 30 years.
He is currently investigating an OTEC system using ammonia/water mixtures as working fluid and a new double Rankine Cycle using pure working fluid. I have collaborated on the project in India, Malaysia, Indonesia, the USA, the Republic of Palou, and Korea.
