Mongolia Renewable Energy Absorption Project

Energy storage provides a wide range of ancillary services that helps the utility to stabilize the network and improve quality of electricity services. In addition, a key advantage of battery technology lies in its quick ability to respond to blackouts and provide ramping capacity. The Government of Mongolia (GOM) is in the process on considering battery storage to address the fragile network, improve quality of services, and manage loads to meet demand. However, there is no assessment of the most suitable type of battery technology, where the batteries would be best located, and the benefits, including financial. There are no regulations in place to regulate and price ancillary services, which are the major benefits of battery storage.
