On 1973 June 27 and 28, a national conference was convened at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for discussions on ocean thermal energy conversion. Its objectives were to afford an opportunity for information exchange, identification of key problems, and for discussions of how to implement the sea solar power plant technology. The edited versions of the formal presentations are contained in these proceedings. Following these presentation, six working groups were convened, for discussions on technological and environmental aspects of the subject. Summaries of the working groups' outputs are presented for the following topics: Power plant siting, economic and political problems; environmental considerations; low temperature gradient heat transfer; turbines and fluids; plant anchoring; cold water pipe design.
