기흥레스피아 하수열에너지 부존량에 관한 연구

As the energy demand has increased sharply but the supply is limited, the utilization of unused energy resources has drawn an attention recently. This paper reports the current status of worldwide use of heat pump systems utilizing ocean thermal energy and the estimated ocean thermal energy resources in major seaside cities in Korea. The method of estimating the resource is based on the available effective seawater flow and the thermal energy corresponding to 1℃ of temperature change considering the environmental impact.
