Abstract
Sri Lanka is located near the center of the main channel of the Indian Ocean. It is also an important place for the Maritime Silk Road initiative. This chapter carried out a technology of offshore wind energy evaluation on key island or vital region, with the Sri Lankan waters as a case study. Systematically considering the wind power density, energy availability, energy level occurrences, energy direction (co-occurrence of wind power density-wind direction), climatic variation of wind energy, wind class, the wind energy of Sri Lankan waters for the future and for the past are analyzed and compared, to provide reference for the long-term planning of wind energy development and technical approach for the mid-long term projection of wind energy resource.
