Pioneering Design of ISCC Plants in Hassi R’Mel (Algeria, 150 MW) and Ain Beni Mathar (Morocco, 450 MW)
Algeria | Morocco
IDOM has designed the world’s first ISCC (Integrated Solar Combined Cycle) plants, implementing the hybridization of combined cycles with parabolic trough solar fields. These ISCC plants, located in Hassi R’Mel (Algeria, 150 MW) and Ain Beni Mathar (Morocco, 450 MW), significantly enhance water-steam cycle efficiency through solar integration, setting a benchmark in international energy innovation.
The ISCC (Integrated Solar Combined Cycle) plant are combined cycles that improve the efficiency of the water-steam cycle with a solar field using parabolic trough technology.
One of the hybrid cycles has 150 MW and is located in Hassi R´Mel, Algeria. The other hybrid cycle has 450 MW and is located in Ain Beni Mathar, Morocco.
