• Solar thermal power plant
• CCPP

• 2 × SGT- 800 gas turbine
• 1 × SST -900 steam turbine

The power plant at Hassi R'Mel Hassi R'Mel in the Algerian province Laghouat is hybrid power plant that combines a solar thermal power plant with a conventional gas - and -steam combined cycle power plant ( CCPP ). Operator that started operating in May 2011 150 - MW power plant is the Spanish company Abengoa.

The solar thermal portion of the power plant consists of 224 parabolic trough collectors, which together have an aperture area of 183 860 m². The collectors come from Abengoa and the absorber tubes of Schott Solar. The heat energy is transferred to a thermal oil, which is heated in the collector box from 293 ° C to 393 ° C. With the collector field, an electrical power of 25 MW will be provided.

The conventional power plant unit with a capacity of 130 MW forms a gas - and -steam combined cycle power plant consisting of two SGT- 800 gas turbines and one SST -900 steam turbine. All three turbines were manufactured by Siemens. The gas turbines firing natural gas from the gas field Hassi R'Mel. The waste heat from the gas turbines will be supplied along with the daytime available made ​​from the collector field solar heat of the steam turbine. Waste heat from the steam turbine is discharged through the dry cooled air capacitors. In English, the configuration used in the power plant Hassi R'Mel is referred to as Integrated solar combined -cycle ( ISCC ).
