abstract: "This dataset lists all sites that are practically suitable for OTEC deployment in Indonesia based on seawater temperature difference, water depths and marine protected areas.<br>The columns of the dataset are as follows:<br><br>Prov_Start, Long_Start, and Lat_Start described the province, longitude and latitude of the site for OTEC deployment in the ocean. <br><br>Prov_End, Long_End, and Lat_End describe the province, longitude, and latitude of the connection point on land to which the power lines of the OTEC plant are assumed to be connected. <br><br>Distance describes the linear distance between OTEC plant and onshore connection point.<br> Temperature describes the seawater temperature difference between warm surface water (depth 0 m) and cold deep-sea water (depth 1,000 m) and reflect the average temperature difference from 21 August 2013 00:00 until 27 November 2018. The resolution of the data is 24 hours.<br><br>Depth describes the water depth with a negative sign, meaning that -1 means a water depth of 1m. <br><br>BPP represents the Basic Cost of Electricity Production in Indonesia, a metric that is used to calculate the feed-in tariff for the produced OTEC power. IMPORTANT, the feed-in tariff is not equal to BPP, but instead 85% of the BPP.<br>LCOE_HC and LCOE_LC describe the calculated Levelised Cost of Electricity based on High-Cost (HC) and Low-Cost (LC) assumptions for the OTEC plant.<br>Eco_Pot_HC and Eco_Pot_LC describe the economic potential of the OTEC plant at the given location. If the LCOE is equal or lower than 85% of the BPP, its economic potential equals the nominal size of the plant, in this study 100 MW. If the LCOE is higher than 85% of BPP, the economic potential is 0.<br>"
