In the Mongolia project, the objective of the BESS is to support the connection of more variable renewable energy to the entire central energy system, which covers over 90% of Mongolia's energy demand, including that of Ulaanbaatar.

Who owns the Bess in Mongolia?

In Mongolia, where the BESS plays a crucial role in maintaining power supply reliability due to the growing number of variable renewable energy connections to the grid, a decision was made for the state-owned transmission company, the National Power Transmission Grid, to own and operate the first grid-connected BESS.

Where is a Bess substation located in Ulaanbaatar?

Through power system analysis, the Songino substation, situated approximately 30 kilometers west of Ulaanbaatar city center, was identified as the optimal location for maximizing the impact of BESS applications. This choice is justified by Ulaanbaatar being the system’s largest demand center and its proximity to major wind farms.

How does Bess contribute to grid stability?

BESS contributes to grid stability by absorbing excess power when production is high and dispatching it when demand is high. This feature enables BESS to significantly reduce the occurrence of power blackouts and ensure a more consistent electricity supply, particularly during extreme weather conditions. 3. Reduced Emissions and Peak Shaving

Where is ADB implementing Bess projects?
