Quantum Leap in Wind Power Development in Asia and the Pacific (QLW) commissioned three wind measurement met-masts in Sri Lanka in early 2015.  QLW's Sri Lanka project consists of detailed mapping of wind resource in the northern regions of the country. Three new wind measuring stations were installed in Pooneryn (80m height), Jaffna (60m height) and Kokkilai (60m height) and this ground-based wind data is now available for general public use.

At the Asia Clean Energy Forum 2015, ADB, Manila, presented this topic. High penetration of RE requires the following:

a. Identified reserve power sources that can do load following on the net load (=load minus variable generation)

b. Some amount storage to the grid for primary frequency response and if required load shifting/peak shaving

c. For higher stability, storage can provide “bridge energy” to allow cold start of diesel generators in response to disturbances

d. Hybrid controllers that manage wind, solar, storage, diesel plants
