Parabolic Trough Power Plant Shagaya

The Shagaya Project is part of the “Innovative Renewable Energy” research program in Kuwait. The client for the construction of the parabolic trough solar power plant is the Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research KISR. Like all power plants of this type, it has a solar thermal storage system that enables the provision of energy even at night, or on days without the sun.
The EPC-company TSK Flagsol has selected the EuroTrough collector, which has been used successfully in various countries for many years, for this power plant and acquired the licence for it from schlaich bergermann partner.
sbp sonne gmbh was also commissioned with the engineering control of this project.

Parabolic Troughs

Proven state of the art for CSP

Over the years, sbp sonne developed and licensed three different types of parabolic trough collectors: the EuroTrough, the HelioTrough and the UltimateTrough. We are now focusing on the distribution and commercialization of the ‘HelioTrough’ and ‘UltimateTrough’, as these collector developments have been proven to significantly reduce costs and improve performance for large scale power plants.

The UltimateTrough collector for Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) plants is the world’s largest and most advanced parabolic trough collector. Measurements indicate that efficiency of the UltimateTrough is over 10% higher as compared to the benchmark collector.
