1 Renewable Energy The value of Wind Energy Imagination at at work General Electric Company Mark Rush Technical Director GE Renewable Energy Sales

2 Evolution of GE wind products Units Model introduction 1.5i (65m) 1.5s (70.5m) 1,000 th 2.5s (88m) 1.5sle (77m) 5,000 th 10,000 th 2.5xl (100m) 1.5xle (82.5m) ,000 th enters wind industry 1.5s 1.5sle x in capacity factor 2x customer revenue/turbine * *Since General Electric Company

3 MW Constraints Land GE s diversified wind product portfolio Low Wind speed High Enhancing plant economics for a broad range of site 2015 conditions General Electric Company

4 Evolution of the wind industry Over a decade of progress Next decade 2002 $5B /year 85% availability Growing Reliable 2014 $70B /year 98% availability? How do we continue to lower cost of wind 25%+ cap. factor 0.4% of all power 15 cent power Efficient Mainstream Low cost 50%+ cap. factor 3.5% of all power <5 cent power? What do you do when the wind doesn t blow? 2015 General Electric Company

5 WindSCADA * system Visibility into your wind plant s performance Turbine output heat map Detailed turbine stats Customized data analytics Real time operational visibility Web-based interface Plant & turbine level displays Manage & improve turbine operations Control turbines remotely Share data beyond the site Analyze & enhance plant performance Identify performance variations Advanced analysis & reporting Enabling you to get more out of your wind plant 2015 General Electric Company *Trademark of General Electric Company

6 Wind is a good citizen of the grid Wind keeps the lights on Isn t today! wind intermittent? 122% - Denmark 93% - Portugal 61% - Germany (w/ solar) 61% - Xcel (CO) 45% - Ireland 36% - ERCOT (TX) 34% - BPA (OR/WA) 33% - SPP (NE/KS/OK) 25% - MISO (Midwest) & more! *Instantaneous penetration. Sources: AWEA, America s Power Plan Isn t wind intermittent? Wind is predictable as predictable as flipping a light switch Don t wind speeds change? Change is normal as normal as air conditioners turning on or generators tripping off What if winds don t blow when needed? Siting affects timing high-capacity-factor turbines & good siting enables wind generation when needed General Electric Company.
