Abstract

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is a clean marine renewable energy using temperature difference between the sea surface and the deep ocean to rotate a generator to produce electrical energy. As Malaysia is an equatorial country located at latitudes less than 20 degrees covered by ocean, many islands, strain and many difference of topography, OTEC is very compatible build in Malaysia. This paper discussed the potential areas of OTEC to be applied in Layang-Layang Island, Sabah in Malaysia. The paper found that Layang-Layang Island was high potential for application of OTEC. Using site measurement data, 4 MW electricity generated by OTEC was simulated as a case study
