Abstract

To successfully establish Mongolia's Unified Electric Power System (UEPS) and ensure its future participation in the global electricity market, it is crucial to create a scientifically supported methodology for the expansion planning and control of the country's electric power systems. The approach can and should be developed relying on the concepts provided for in the Mongolian Energy Development Policy Documents, with focus on the challenges of increase in the reliability, the growth of domestic electricity consumption, and the features of the external market. Modeling options and scenarios for the expansion planning of the UEPS of Mongolia are designed by means of systems analysis methods. This paper explores the research methodology utilized and presents a concise summary of its findings.
