A deep learning-based cooling system temperature prediction apparatus has an artificial neural network modeled by connecting a plurality of artificial neural network submodels each including an input layer, a hidden layer, and an output layer is used. A pump flow speed, a cooling water flow rate, a battery inlet cooling water temperature, a motor inlet cooling water temperature, a radiator outlet cooling water temperature, a battery temperature, and a motor temperature are predicted by inputting at least one of a predetermined control variable, an environment variable, or a time variable to the plurality of artificial neural network submodels in accordance with a physical causality. A number of the plurality of artificial neural network submodels and the control variables or environment variables that are sequentially input to each submodel depend on divisional control and integral control of the cooling system.

A submersible reverse osmosis desalination apparatus uses low temperature concentrate or brine from the desalination apparatus to provide a high volume cold liquid stream to an Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) heat engine. The OTEC engine also employs a warm liquid stream and uses the cold and warm liquid streams to obtain electrical power from a closed-cycle or open-cycle heat exchange and generator system. Use of the concentrate or brine stream provides a much greater liquid volume and much greater cold thermal energy content than would be obtained by using cold desalinated product water from the desalination apparatus in the OTEC heat engine.
