BACKGROUND

Sri Lanka’s electricity demand has been growing at an average of

6.8% per year from 1986 to 2003 (Amarawikrama & Hunt, 2007).

There is a need for a secure and accessible supply of energy for the

sustainability of modern societies (Tiwari &Mishra, 2012)

Energy generation by renewable energy sources is a solution for the

current energy crisis.

As availability of hydro resources within the country and it is

renewable energy source, energy can be generated sustainably.

BACKGROUND (Contd.)

feasibility study is an analysis of the potential impact of a proposed

project and it is conducted to assist decision makers in determining

whether the project or program will implement or not (Urkiaga et

al, 2006).

Many contemporarily using feasibility factors are there in the

world.

Currently using feasibility factors are not much comprehensive and

cover all the feasibility aspects of a project.

Thus, a comprehensive framework for assess the feasibility of MHP

projects is needed to assess the project success.

AIM OF THE STUDY

Develop a multidimensional framework for feasibility assessment

of mini hydro power projects in Sri Lanka.

OBJECTIVES

The current demand for electricity in Sri Lanka.

The sources of the electricity generation in Sri Lanka.

The implementation and importance of MHP projects.

Investigate the current level of implementation of MHP in Sri

Lanka.

Identify feasibility assessment perspectives and criteria for MHP

projects feasibility.

Develop a conceptual hierarchy for feasibility assessment of MHP

in Sri Lanka.

Multidimensional framework for feasibility assessment of MHP

projects in Sri Lanka.

Theoretical hierarchy for assess the MHP project feasibility

6 feasibility perspectives have been identified with 42 criteria

respectively to each perspective.

PRELIMINARY QUESTIONNIRE SURVEY

Survey carried out among 10 MHP industry expertise.

Data were analyzed, and concluded the perspectives and criteria

for MHP project feasibility assessment and developed the

conceptual hierarchy.

AHP QUESTIONNAIRE SURVEY

Survey was carried out among 30 MHP industry expert’s  within

different organizations.

Data were analyzed using AHP (Analytical Hierarchical Process)

tool.

Developed the multidimensional framework with prioritized

perspectives and criteria for assess the MHP feasibility in Sri

Lanka.
