A set of methods and computer programs for analysis of the dynamics of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) plants in ocean waves were previously developed. These methods, which are generally known collectively as the NOAA/DOE method, can be used to calculate platform motions and cold water pipe (CWP) linear, elastic motions and loads for both regular and irregular waves. The present study describes a number of modifications made to these methods and computer programs to provide improved and extended capabilities. In particular, the methods have been modified to use an iterative scheme for determining equivalent linearized damping, the effect of superimposed ocean current and waves and the presence of up to four elastic seawater discharge pipes or groups of discharge pipes.
