MSA-Trough

The global objective of the MSA-Trough project is to develop and demonstrate a novel parabolic trough collector which is by far more efficient, more cost-reduced (CAPEX, OPEX), more reliable and more sustainable than currently commercially used trough collectors and which is optimized to generate cheap dispatchable electrical energy from megawatt up to the gigawatt range in order to stabilize electrical grids and enable higher shares of variable output renewables in the energy systems.
