Introduction During the first half of year 2012, maximum recorded electricity demand in Sri Lanka was 2146.4MW (excluding NCRE component) which is a slight low value compared to the maximum demand of 2163.1MW in year 2011. In order to attain this demand and to satisfy the electricity requirement in Sri Lanka, altogether 142 Grid connected power plants and 3 power plants in Jaffna peninsula with total installed capacity of 3277MW have been operated in the first half of 2012. Out of these power plants 25 have been owned and operated by Ceylon Electricity Board including 17 hydro plants, 7 thermal plants and 1 wind power plant. Upper Kotmale hydro power plant with 150MW was added to the national grid to enhance the generation capacity of CEB, during the first 6 months of 2012. Withal, 11 thermal power plants have been operated by Independent Power Producers (IPPs) and 109 renewable power plants have been operated by Small Power Producers (SPPs) including mini hydro plants, solar power plants, wind power plants and biomass power plants. 5 renewable power plants have been commissioned in the first half of 2012 to raise the generation capacity of the country.

System Peak Demand CEB System Control records the daily peak power demand of the country. Daily variation of country’s system peak demand during the first half of the year 2012 is depicted by the following graph. Peak Demand Variation 2012 MW 2300 2100 1900 1700 1500 1300 1100 900 700 500 4-Jun 2-Apr 9-Apr 6-Feb 5-Mar 7-May 30-Jan 11-Jun 18-Jun 25-Jun 16-Apr 23-Apr 30-Apr 13-Feb 20-Feb 27-Feb 12-Mar 19-Mar 26-Mar 14-May 21-May 28-May Note: NCRE contribution is not included for the peak demand. Daily demand data for the month of January was not available. 4. Load Factor Load Factor is an indicator which shows how steady an electrical load over time. It is simply the average load divided by the peak load in a system over a period of time. But normally load factor is calculated subjected to the produced energy according to the following formula. Calculated Load Factor for the total system for first half of year 2012 = 60.21% Load factor of any system must be tried to keep in its maximum by pulling down the concentrated maximum demand and shifting the loads to periods of otherwise low usage. Load factor maximization is essential in maintaining the security of supply of the countries in which, meeting the concentrated maximum demand is critical. Countries which have a flat load curve own a higher load factor. 6 | P a g e [Generation Performance in Sri Lanka] 2012 (First Half) Monthly Variation in Load Factor 68.00% 66.00% 64.00% 62.00% 60.00% 58.00% 56.00% 54.00% 52.00% 50.00% Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Sri Lanka has a load curve with a steep peak in the night, where starting from about 6.00 pm the load grows to about 2,000 MW by 7.30 pm and starts falling off after about 08.30 pm. Therefore the system must be comprised a substantial additional generation capacity only to meet that abrupt sharp night peak; hence the load factor in Sri Lanka is comparatively low. As a solution for that, CEB has introduced a three tier tariff plan for the industrial electricity consumers with low off peak rates and penal peak rates to smoothen the daily peak load and push some industrial activities to low demand hours, and this time-of-day tariff scheme is expected to be facilitated for the domestic consumers as well in near future. Note: Load Factors were calculated excluding NCRE component of the system 5. Plant Factor The plant factor of a power plant is the ratio of the actual energy output of the power plant over a period of time to its potential output if it had operated at full nameplate capacity the entire time. Plant Factors vary greatly depending on the type of power plants and it is calculated according to the following formula. 7 | P a g e [Generation Performance in Sri Lanka] 2012 (First Half) Calculated plant factors for all grid connected power plants in Sri Lanka during the first half of the year 2012 are listed below.

    CAPaBLE Programme Final Report Project Reference Number: CBA2015-06NSY-Silva Escalating Small Hydropower Development and Aquatic Biodiversity of Mountain Streams in Sri Lanka Water Resources Science & Technology, Sri Lanka, [email protected] 0 Project Reference Number: CBA2015-06NSY-Silva “Escalating Small Hydropower Development and Aquatic Biodiversity of Mountain Streams in Sri Lanka” Final Report submitted to APN ©Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research 1 OVERVIEW OF PROJECT WORK AND OUTCOMES Preliminary studies revealed that negative impacts of poorly designed small hydropower plants are very diverse; primarily effect on aquatic biota in terms of population decline and eventual species extinction including fish species endemic to Sri Lanka (Silva & Davies, 1986; Silva, 1993; Silva et al., 2013; 2014; 2015). At present, in Sri Lanka, about 600 stream sites have been identified as potential sites and about 150 plants have already been in operation in various river basins. Further, 1-2 km stream stretch had been notably affected at each small hydropower plant. In most cases, the developers do not maintain ecological flows, which is a requirement according to the Environmental Act of Sri Lanka. The negligence of the developers and poor understanding of the relevant authorities have led a devastating damage to the mountain stream ecosystems in terms of aquatic biodiversity and goods and services provided to the riparian communities. Therefore, Water Resources Science and Technology (WRST), a non-profit making company registered under guaranteed sought financial assistance from Asia-Pacific Network for Climate Change Research (APN)under CAPaBLE programme to carry out project with a view to build up the awareness of different categories of stakeholders in small hydropower generation sector, namely, small hydropower developers, consultants to developers, environmental officers, and relevant policy makers on the importance of correct design and operation of environmentally sustainable small hydropower plants.
