This collaborative effort aimed to provide attendee s with practical insights into renewable energy generation technologies.\n \nThe excursion commenced with a visit to the Moragahakanda Power Plant\, boasting a substantial capacity of 25MW. Nestled amidst picturesque landsc apes\, participants had the opportunity to observe firsthand the intricate operations and advanced technologies powering the plant's efficient energ y production. Guided by experts from the industry\, attendees gained valua ble knowledge about the plant's design\, functioning\, and its role in Sri Lanka's energy sector.\n\nSubsequently\, the visit continued to the Vidul lanka Biomass Power Plant\, renowned for its innovative approach to sustai nable energy generation\, with a capacity of 3.3MW. Located within the lus h greenery of the region\, participants explored the plant's biomass-to-en ergy conversion processes\, witnessing how organic materials are transform ed into clean and renewable power. Engaging discussions with plant personn el provided insights into biomass energy technologies and their environmen tal benefits.\n\nThe field visit\, organized by IEEE PES at UOP in collabo ration with the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering Societ y\, proved to be an enriching experience for all participants. It offered a unique opportunity to bridge theoretical knowledge with practical applic ations\, inspiring future engineers and professionals to contribute toward s a greener and more sustainable energy future.\n\nAgenda: \n06.25 AM - St arted the Visit\n\n08.15 AM - Arrived at Moragahakanda Project\n\n10.30 AM - Departure\n\n01.00 PM - Arrived at Vidullanka Power Plant\n\n05.15 PM - Departure\n\nMoragahakanda Dam\, Elahera\, Matale\, Sri Lanka\, Sri Lanka LOCATION:Moragahakanda Dam\, Elahera\, Matale\, Sri Lanka\, Sri Lanka ORGANIZER:pes.pera.uop@gmail.com SEQUENCE:23 SUMMARY:Field Visit: Moragahakanda Project and Vidullanka Biomass Power Pla nt URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/402956 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>The IEEE Power &amp\; Energy Society (PES) at the University of Peradeniya (UOP)\, in collaboration with the Departm ent of Electrical and Electronic Engineering Society\, organized a captiva ting field visit to two prominent energy facilities: the Moragahakanda Pow er Plant and the Vidullanka Biomass Power Plant.
