Wind turbines are manufactured in a wide range of vertical and horizontal axis. The smallest turbines are used for applications such as battery charging for auxiliary power for boats or caravans or to power traffic warning signs. Larger turbines can be used for making contributions to a domestic power supply while selling unused power back to the utility supplier via the electrical grid. Arrays of large turbines, known as wind farms, are becoming an increasingly important source of intermittent renewable energy and are used by many countries as part of a strategy to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels.
However Sri lankan wind energy industry contribute very small percentage of toatal energy needs in Sri lanka. But this is changing with time due to reduction of wind turbine cost and improvemnts of the technology.Â
Uni-Tec Energy already partnering up with two of the world largest wind turbine manufactures in Europe and china to provide state of the art wind turbine technology to Sri lankan goverment and other clients with more reasonable price range.
