  1. Updating Mongolia’s Energy Masterplan Michael J. Emmerton, ADB Team Leader - 24 May 2013

  2. Energy Masterplanning Challenges • Large land area • Sparse population on the move • Minerals Extraction (mines) • Industrialization • Natural Fibres • Meat and milk • Oil refining • Minerals processing • Industrial Parks (smelters)

  3. Mongolia’s 15 Strategic Mineral Deposits

  4. Mongolia’s Potential Electricity Intensification

  5. Mongolia’s Potential Demand Growth

  6. Combined Heat & Power Plants

  7. Myth no. 1 – Mongolia’s CHP Plants are inefficient • Compared to modern plant • Water consumption high • Pollutants high • Thermal Efficiency • CHP4 - total thermal efficiency ~ 55% • Power-to-Heat ratio ~0.29

  8. CHP Cogeneration & Condensing Products

  9. Myth no. 1 – Mongolia’s CHP Plants are inefficient • CHP4 • Total thermal efficiency – 55% • New CHP in Mongolia • Heat production efficiency – 89% • Electric power efficiency – 46.7% • Total thermal efficiency – 59.7% • CHP in continuous cogeneration mode • Total thermal efficiency – 89%

  10. Taishir Hydropower, Gobi Altai – 11MW

  11. Myth no. 2 – Hydropower is best choice to serve Mongolia’s peak energy demand • All previous studies have compared a hydropower plant to a ‘hypothetic’ gas turbine operating at time of peak load • Cost estimates have been varied and generally too low

  12. Mongolia’s Expected HPP Capital Costs

  13. Myth no. 2 – Hydropower is best choice to serve Mongolia’s peak energy demand • Design optimization shows that an HPP c constructed on Sheuren river system has optimal design, from cost and energy perspective, if • 390MW • 1,260GWhr per annum • Capacity factor ~ 55%

  14. Sheuren HPP (300MW) Despatch May 2022

  15. NewcomSalkhitWindpark – 50MW

  16. Myth no. 3 – Mongolia’s Wind & Solar resources can be exploited to supply Asia • Wind and solar PV suffers from intermittency • In Mongolia there is little wind in winter months • Across vast distances in Mongolia, and with a small capacity system, controlling a transmission grid with significant intermittent power sources is a complex undertaking

  17. Diurnal Net Power Production (200MW Wind)

  18. Economics of Energy Technology in Mongolia

  19. Investment in Energy Supply in Mongolia • Heat Supply • A new CHP plant is the most economical heat supply for UB city • Large Heat Only Boiler (HOB) is needed to bridge from now to 2018 • Total investment in heat supply will be of the order of $3.5B (money of the day basis). • Half of the Aimag heating systems need replacement within the next five years at a cost of around $ 150m.

  20. Investment in Energy Supply in Mongolia • Hydropower in 2022 • Capacity 390MW, min 1,000GWh p.a. • Est. Cost $900m • Benefits • Reduced operating costs • More wind farms • Provides opportunity for Mongolia to develop the capability to control system frequency across its vast transmission network

  21. Investment in Energy Supply in Mongolia • T&D Networks • Strengthen to reduce energy losses, improve reliability • Economic to supply mines up to 100MW if within 300km of existing grid • In time create a Mongolian super-grid at 400kV to support industrial centres

  22. Investment in Transmission & Distribution

  23. Support Clean Energy Research • Under Mongolian conditions • Renewable energy technologies - solar heating schemes, geothermal schemes • Involve the young and brightest engineers in interesting projects that support Mongolia’s future direction
