Research

Nanotechnology in Photovoltaic

In this research Carbon NanoTubes (CNT) used in the active layer of the cell to improve the efficiency of organic thin film solar cells. This Project is funded by the National Research Council.

Use of Smart Transformer for a Dynamic Volt-VAR Control

In this research project a novel concept is developed for the Volt-var control of distribution networks. International Research Centre of University of Peradeniya and Lanka Transformers Ltd. support this research activity.
