Background informationBackground informationMongolia has an extremely harsh winter
climate
Winter temperature range is -10 C to -30 C in the daytime
Temperature drop is -40 C at night.
Long heating season, with a total of eight months from the middle of September to the middle of May.
Background informationBackground informationUlaanbaatar (UB) is the coldest capital city
in the world.The air quality is dangerously bad - UB is
becoming the world’s most polluted city.In UB, annual average particulate matter
concentrations have been recorded at as high as 279.
World Health Organization recommended PM10 level is 20.
UB’s PM10 levels are 14 times higher than the WHO’s recommendation.
Background informationBackground information
The heating demand is continuously increasing.
The heat supply in Mongolia is mainly provided from combined heat and power plants.
The energy source is mainly coal which, despite co-generation, contributes to carbon emissions.
The burning platformThe burning platform
From a global perspective the increasing global fuel prices, local environment (air pollution), limitation of fuel reserves and extensive amount of available solar resources, creates a burning platform for solar heating in district heating systems around the world.
The burning platformThe burning platform
In northern Europe the solar heating systems are not only an environmental friendly solution, but also cost-efficient compared to other solutions.
Furthermore, systems designed for solar heating has a tendency to be more efficient than traditional district heating systems, as temperature levels has been considered, heat storage tanks and other technical solutions has been utilized.
The burning platformThe burning platformSolar heating solutions have been used
world wide for decades, not to say centuries, but have most often been relatively simple solutions with i.e. a tank on the roof with lack of controlling etc.
However, the technology has been matured over the last decades where large scale solar heating plants have been constructed and connected to existing district heating systems.
The technology is now days robust and can operate in both harsh winter climate and hot summer climate.

Solar heating technologies
There are four main technologies within solar thermal technologies:
Central Receiver Tower Plant Parabolic solar unit Evacuated tubes Flat plate collectors
Central Receiver Tower PlantCentral Receiver Tower Plant
Concentrates solar radiation on a point receiver at the top of a tower
Enables operation at high temperature level and provides heat storage capabilities
Has high net solar to electrical efficiency and is a commercially proven technology

Parabolic solar unitParabolic solar unit
A trough-shaped parabolic reflector is used to concentrate sunlight on an insulated tube (Dewar tube) or heat pipe, placed at the focal point, containing coolant which transfers heat from the collectors to the boilers in the power station.
Temperature range: 0-400°C
Parabolic solar unitParabolic solar unit
Evacuated tubesEvacuated tubes
Evacuated heat pipe tubes are composed of multiple evacuated glass tubes each containing an absorber plate fused to a heat pipe.
The heat from the hot end of the heat pipes is transferred to the transfer fluid of a domestic hot water or hydronic space heating system in a heat exchanger called a “manifold”. Temperature range: 0-150°C
Evacuated tubes Evacuated tubes
Flat plate collectorsFlat plate collectors
The solar energy is transformed into heat by the absorber which is located in the inside of the solar collector. It absorbs the solar heat and transmits it to a frost-resisting liquid which circulates in a system of pipes.
The heated liquid is lead to a warm water tank, store tank or a separate heat exchanger. Temperature range: 0-120°C
Flat plate collectors Flat plate collectors
Connection to District Heating network
District Heating networks in Mongolia, are most often divided into primary and secondary networks.
The primary network can be seen as a transmission network where substations equipped with heat exchangers are separating the primary and the secondary network.
The secondary networks are distributing heat to a number of dwellings.
Connection to District Heating network Connection to District Heating network
The temperature levels on the primary network are often 130/70, sometimes up to 150/80.
The temperature levels on the secondary networks are typically in the range of 95/70.
Connection to District Heating network Connection to District Heating network
There are several ways to connect solar heating units to a district heating network.
Most common way is solar heating units in combination with heat storage tank connected to the secondary network thru a heat exchanger. The hot water from the solar heating units is mixed with the supply water from the substation (when necessary). The storage tank can be used to level the variations in heat demand and solar heat resources for optimal utilization of the resources.

Cost estimation Cost estimation The cost for Turn-key solar heating
equipment/plant is estimated to 500-800 USD/m2.
For a typical soum center heating area of 10'000m2 with 1Gcal/h peak demand and assuming that 25% of the heat comes from solar panels, the cost would be 0.25-0.42 million USD.
