PROBLEM STATEMENT

 Sudden electricity outages are the problem that people have to face in their day to day life. Most of the
people in Sri Lanka have to experienced many troubles as well as reduce overall performance in their
day to day life.
 There are some common problems due to electricity outages.
OBJECTIVES
METHODOLOGY
Study about the major power outages in Study about the minor power outages in
Sri Lanka. different regions in Sri Lanka by a
survey.

Study information about the devices that are Study information about the small scale
currently using in power outages in Sri Lanka electricity generating devices that use in
using a the survey. other countries.

Suggest best solutions for overcome

Analyze the information that we acquired. power outages.
MAJOR POWER OUTAGES IN SRI LANKA
Sri lanka Is a developing country. So we have to face sudden power outages in many times.

Major power outages can be happen all over the country or in a entire province.
 SMALL SCALE ELECTRICITY GENERATION
If we loss the main electricity supply during electricity outage, we have to find alternatives to generate
electricity.

There are four types of electricity generators that are mostly using by people.

1. Chemical fuel generators

2. Hydro powered generators
3. Wind turbines
4. Solar generators.
