MY CONTRIBUTION TO ELECTRICITY GENERATION THROUGH TURBINE KITES

Turbine Kite Workshop I conducted at Central College, Jaffna, Northern Province, Sri Lanka in 2016, under the objective of the Ravana Aviation Kite Association and Ravana Aviation Academy’s Research & Development Division, aimed at addressing the nation’s electricity demand. I believe Sri Lanka’s geographic location, coupled with its abundant visible and invisible natural forces, holds great potential for harnessing renewable energy for future electricity generation.

I studied global wind patterns, both surface and upper-level, and conducted examinations for my Airline Transport Pilot Licensing in the United Kingdom, administered by the Civil Aviation Authority of Sri Lanka.

In 2008, as part of my Junior Command Course at China Bay Training School, Sri Lanka Air Force, I conducted research on windmills to address Sri Lanka’s future electricity demand. This research involved studying various statistics and literature on the subject and related fields. I discovered that relying solely on external knowledge was insufficient for providing a viable solution for Sri Lanka. Instead, I concluded that understanding and harmonizing with our natural environment is crucial for developing solutions tailored to Sri Lanka’s unique needs.
