Mongolia has rich renewable resources and has significantly increased the number of renewable projects connected to its Central Energy Networks, reducing the carbon intensity of the electricity produced and reducing imports from neighboring countries. With a peak demand of 1,200MW, the Central Energy System now has 155MW of wind and 90MW of solar projects connected. Renewable projects of 165MW have been connected since 2017.
For the first time, Active Network Management has been used as a Smart Grid technique to resolve and manage transmission capacity issues.
30MW additional green energy to meet the energy demand.
Adopting smart grid techniques has allowed Mongolia to defer traditional reinforcement, unlocking capacity of 30MVA in Sainshand the capital of Dornogobi Province. The Mongolian ANM is now monitoring the Central Energy System maintaining the network within limits whilst autonomously optimizing the Solar PV export. Spanish-based ZIV has already prepared the standard engineering to deal with agility the supply of the automation systems for the substations that will be put into operation in the coming years.
