To develop the renewable energy potential, Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) required to start including high renewable energy availability areas as potential generation sites, as well as start planning for development of transmission infrastructure.
Opportunities for interregional trade of generated wind power in the future will also be explored. In process, CEB will consider power system stability related issues and dispatch of variable power. Towards this purpose the study will take into consideration specific features of Sri Lanka’s power system and load regimes to devise concrete recommendations for achieving the objective of absorbing intermittent wind and solar in an efficient and reliable way. As such the project will assist CEB in undertaking the system stability and network planning studies for development of the renewable energy potential with specific focus on incorporation in the system intermittent wind and solar power generation and taking into consideration the potential power interconnection between India and Sri Lanka in the future
