The hydrogen fuel cell generators have also been optimised for the amount of energy used at the factory. A 760kW solar power generation system was installed on the factory roof last year—a proportion of this generation is what will be used in the new power system, also integrating newly installed battery storage.
Urban blocks in Sri Lanka tend to be of mixed function, where residential, commercial, government, and industrial buildings coexist in the same urban space. It is difficult, therefore, to conduct studies in the city based on urban block function. One of the most commonly used indicators of urban form is urban compactness . However, research related to

Sri Lanka, like many other developing nations, faces to significant challenges in managing its energy needs as the significant portion of energy requirement of the country depends on the imported
Because electricity generation from fossil fuels accounts for 55% of the total energy generation mix, 2 resulting in high fuel import cost, Sri Lanka has been actively diversifying to renewable
Sri Lanka is located close to the equator and receives abundant sunlight throughout the year, making it an ideal location for solar energy generation. According to a 2017 study by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), Sri Lanka has a high potential for solar power with an average solar insolation of 4-6 kWh/m2 per day.
Figure 4 Sri Lanka''s power demand peaks between 1800 and 2000 hours Figure 5 9The domestic segment accounts for the majority of Sri Lanka''s electricity consumers Figure 6 Industrial and commercial consumers drive Sri Lanka''s electricity consumption Figure 7 Low shares of large hydro generation adversely impact the CEB''s profitability
However, photovoltaic power generation itself has many problems (Dongfeng et al., 2019) ch as fluctuating and intermittent (Chaibi et al., 2019).This will lead to instability of photovoltaic output (Xin et al., 2019), or produce large fluctuations (Li et al., 2019a, Li et al., 2019b).Which causes serious problems such as abandonment of PV and difficulties in grid
