Its innovative design resulted in important improvements regarding its optical accuracy, optimization of assembly and a reduction in manufacturing and installation costs.
This through collector can be find in Xina Solar One, built and operated by Abengoa in South Africa. This is a 100 MW solar thermal plant with a 5.5 hours thermal storage system which allows it to meet the country electricity demand peaks with renewable, sustainable and dispatchable energy. In addition, this is the collector that is being installed in the phase IV of the largest solar complex in the world, the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park in Dubai owned by DEWA (Dubai Electricity and Water Authority), and in which Abengoa is responsible for the design, construction and commissioning of solar technology and a solar field of parabolic trough collectors of 3 x 200 MW, with 12 hours of molten salt storage.
These recognition is a proof of the world leader position hat Abengoa holds in the solar sector having constructed solar plants in four continents with an installed base of 1.7 GW, which represents the 34 % of the worldwide production.
