Comparative Analysis of Power Generation from Oceans

Solar energy contributes to a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in comparison to energy generated from fossil fuels. It promotes viable source of energy, being renewable to meet global needs of power. The non renewable energy resources of petroleum and other CO2 sources are increasing the pollution level and causing the environmental effects. Future scenario coal and oil might not be a source of fuel for power generation. This is due to safeguarding the environment from pollution. The objective of present work is to investigate the feasibility of generating electricity indirectly from solar energy by harnessing the temperature difference between the sun-warmed surface of tropical oceans and the colder deep waters
