4 FAQs about Ulaanbaatar microgrid design

What will microgrids do in 2035?

By 2035, microgrids are envisioned to be essential building blocks of the future electricity delivery system to support resilience, decarbonization, and affordability. Microgrids will be increasingly important for integration and aggregation of high penetration distributed energy resources.

What is slowing the decarbonization of Ulaanbaatar's energy grid?

There are several dynamics at play that are slowing the decarbonization of Ulaanbaatar's energy grid. Much of this phenomenon has to do with the system used to award PPA contracts, and with political interference in setting energy production targets at different facilities.

What is a microgrid planning capability?

Planning capability that supports the ability to model and design new microgrid protection schemes that are more robust to changing conditions such as load types, inverter-based resources, and networked microgrids.

What is a microgrid design tool?

The MDT allows designers to model, analyze, and optimize the size and composition of new microgrids or modifications to existing systems. Technology management, cost, performance, reliability, and resilience metrics are all offered by the tool.
