Ocean systems embodied in OTEC floating power plant designs include features beyond present offshore practice. Design aspects of the platform, cold water pipe and mooring systems have been investigated in Government sponsored research programs to establish a technology base for commercial plant development. Recent laboratory tests have provided validation of concepts and design tools, and future programs will include large scale demonstration tests. (DePo)
