Field Visit to Explore Renewable Resources

Date: June 28, 2025

On June 28, 2025, the IEEE PES Student Branch of the University of Jaffna organized an insightful field visit titled "Field Visit to Explore Renewable Resources" across the Kilinochchi premises. Approximately 60 members participated in the event, traveling by organized transport to visit four key renewable energy installations. The journey began at the Faculty of Agriculture's Biogas Plant with electricity generation capabilities, followed by a visit to the wind turbine and the innovative floating solar system located at the Faculty of Engineering. The tour concluded at the Department of Civil Engineering, where students examined the large-scale rooftop solar system.

Throughout the day, Eng. (Ms.) S. Nithusiga, the Advisor of the PES Student Branch, provided expert technical explanations for each power source. This hands-on experience offered students a unique opportunity to explore the mechanisms of diverse energy systems and understand their real-world applications within the university. By witnessing these operational technologies firsthand, members were able to effectively bridge the gap between their academic studies and the practicalities of renewable power generation.
