MSLOOP will improve the storage capacity of existing parabolic trough solar plants and it will be configured to make the integration of a hybrid plant concept possible, while providing firm and dispatchable electricity and using 100% renewable energy sources.
Regarding the environmental impact, MSLOOP will mitigate the oil issues by using an eco-friendly heat transfer fluid and will reduce the water consumption without penalizing the CSP plant performance.
MSLOOP has been focused on the market-drivers’ interests from the beginning of the Project in order to launch the solution in open tenders in less of 6 months after the start of the Project, boosting significant contributions to industry, environment and society. This will involve a deeper penetration of CSP plants in the generation mix and thus, an increase of the renewable share.
