Abstract

Osmotic energy is one of the renewable energies. This osmotic energy source is easily obtainable all over the world where river water flows into the ocean or sea. In this article, Bahmanshir River in Iran which falls into the Persian Gulf was considered as selected place for modeling and design of 25 MW osmotic power plant in PRO method. Results indicates that for a 15 year return on investment, annual increase in purchase price of electricity 10% and interest rate 6%, sale price of electricity should be 0.4117 €/KWh which is highly expensive compared to state's suggested price of electricity from renewable source (i.e. 0.09 €/KWh).
