Lanka Transformers

Research Collaboration between the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Peradeniya and Lanka Transformers Ltd was established to investigate the possibility of using a smart transformer for a dynamic Volt-Var control (VVC) that enables to manage distribution network voltages and to manage power consumption of loads thus providing demand side management. This collaboration also allows to mutually agree other projects that are within the purview of the Lanka Transformers Ltd (LTL) and to see how a long term collaboration between the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (DEEE), University of Peradeniya and LTL could be established that is leading to an institutional level MOU.
