Kovalam beach is just 3 km from Vizhinjam. The areas in and around Vizhinjam are known for its Ayurvedic treatment centers and internationally acclaimed beach resorts. As of 2001, the population was 18,566. Vizhinjam is a natural port, which is located close to the international ship route.
Thermal Gradient Technologies • Company/Organization – National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT) • Technology/Plant Name - Barge-Mounted OTEC • Technology Genre - OTEC • Power take-off system – Other In 1998, Makai was contracted by the National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT) in Madras, India, for the conceptual design of the deep water intake pipeline, the effluent pipeline, and the mooring system for an experimental floating OTEC Plant. The NIOT OTEC barge is scheduled to be 72 meters long and will be supplied 1415 kg/s of deep cold seawater through a 1 meter diameter pipeline from a minimum depth of 1000 meters. The mooring is 1220 meters deep.

Thermal Gradient Technologies Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is a means of converting into useful energy, the temperature difference between the surface water of the oceans in tropical and sub-tropical areas, and water at a depth of approximately 1 000 metres, which comes from the polar regions. Land-based plants have the advantage of not requiring a power transmission cable to the shore, and subsequently, no mooring costs are incurred. However, the cold water pipe has to cross the surf zone and then follow the seabed until the depth reaches approximately 1000 metres – resulting in a much longer pipe which much greater friction losses, and greater warming of the cold water before it reaches the heat exchanger, both resulting in lower efficiency.
