“POWER QUALITY & RELIABILITY – Are
We Satisfied? ”
With the Sri Lankan power sector achieving a 100%
electrification in near future, among many other areas
which needs attention, improving the quality and the reli-
ability of the supplied power takes high priority. With the
hope of initiating a dialogue involving most of the stake-
holders, ranging from utilities, regulatory bodies, legisla-
tors, administrative officers, academics and consumers,
the 17th Annual Panel Discussion organized by Electri-
cal Engineering Society (EESoc) of University of Moratu-
wa was on “Power Quality & Reliability, Are we satis-
fied?”. The proceedings took place on the 17th of De-
cember 2015 at the Grand Ballroom of Waters Edge,
Colombo. The Panel Discussion was held under the
auspices of the Hon. Ranjit Siyambalapitiya, Minister of
Power & Renewable Energy who graced the occasion
as the Chief Guest. The eminent panel comprised of
renowned personalities of the Power Sector and the dis-
cussion was moderated by Senior Professor of the Elec-
trical Engineering department, Prof. Ranjith Perera.
Eng. H.N. Gunasekara, General Manager of Lanka Elec-
tricity Company (Pvt) Ltd presented views on the topic
based on the query, “how much reliable the supply
needs to be?”. He further noted that from a utility’s point
of view, reliability is an aspect dependent on both the
economic situation of a country and the expectations of
electricity consumers. He also illustrated how power reli-
ability and quality can have an impact on a country’s
economic activity thereby indicating the broader scope
the topic of the Panel Discussion is addressing.
Next speaker contributing to the dialogue was Dr. H.M.
The primary purpose of any lighting system is the ability to control the lights according to the requirements of the
user. In this design a mobile application makes it a smart light switch and any connected electrical appliance can be
controlled wirelessly. So the ability to control electrical equipment through a mobile application will help to maintain
an easier, carefree lifestyle. The device can be connected with a mobile phone via Bluetooth communication. So
bulbs can be turned on and off individually using an Android mobile application. The timers can also be set to switch
on and off the bulbs. This attempt makes the day-today life easier through the smart technology.
Group Members: K.M. Daranagama, W.D.P. De Alwis, E.P.N. Dilhara, M.L.A. Dilrukshi, W.A.M.I. Dilrukshi
Third Place - Smart Street Lamp
It is a trend to find new technologies to improve the efficiency and to reduce the power consumption of the street
lamps. This smart street lamp consists of special features to fulfil the demanding requirements of the modern
world. The ability to change the light intensity of the lamp and the ability to switch on and off automatically are the
key features of this device. It is independent from the national grid and uses renewable solar energy. To absorb
solar energy more efficiently, it consists of solar tracking mechanism and stores energy for the night. Hence this
street lamp has been able to cut the impact to the national grid.
