Ocean Thermal Energy

Turbine is one of the key components of the ocean thermal energy conversion system (OTEC), and its aerodynamic performance and geometric dimension affect the performance of the system directly. This paper proposes a design method for the radial inflow turbine suitable for the ocean thermal energy conversion based on the parameter optimization of the ocean thermal energy conversion system. Aiming at the application characteristics of marine thermal energy conversion in a small temperature difference environment and the special thermophysical properties of the organic working fluid in this environment, one-dimensional design and three-dimensional CFD analysis of the turbine is separately done, of which the results were compared. At the same time, the performance of the turbine was verified by changing the inlet and outlet conditions of the radial turbine under the design conditions. The conclusion is that the three-dimensional CFD results of the turbine are in good agreement with the one-dimensional design, and the internal flow field of the turbine is stable, without obvious backflow and eddy current, which meets the application requirements of the ocean thermal energy conversion.
