Abstract

The demand for the electricity of the country is increasing dramatically. Therefore, it requires more and more generating facilities connected to the national grid. Since, all most all the economically feasible hydro potentials are captured, the utilities are more concerned on other source of electricity generation. The fossil fuel based electricity generation does not provide a sustainable solution, since the world's fossil fuel resources are depleting at a rapid pace. Another major problem with conventional fossil fuel based electricity generation is the emission of both air pollutants and green house gases. Therefore, in the recent past renewable energy based electricity generation has drawn an increased attention in worldwide. Among the renewable energy sources available in Sri Lanka, wind power has been identified as the most promising option for grid connected electricity generation. However, wind power development in Sri Lanka is not at a satisfactory level and it has some technical, logistical as well as policy constraints. This paper discusses about those constraints in detail and present a result of a case study carried out to investigate one such technical constraint

斯里兰卡风力发电发展的制约因素

这个国家对电力的需求正在急剧增加。因此，需要越来越多的发电设施接入国家电网。由于几乎所有经济上可行的水力潜力都已被利用，公用事业公司更关心其他发电来源。基于化石燃料的发电并不是一个可持续的解决方案，因为世界上的化石燃料资源正在迅速枯竭。传统化石燃料发电的另一个主要问题是空气污染物和温室气体的排放。因此，近年来以可再生能源为基础的发电在世界范围内越来越受到重视。在斯里兰卡可用的可再生能源中，风力发电已被确定为最有前途的并网发电选择。然而，斯里兰卡的风力发电发展并没有达到令人满意的水平，它有一些技术、后勤和政策方面的限制。本文详细讨论了这些约束，并提出了一个案例研究的结果，以调查这样一个技术约束
