6 LESSONS LEARNT OFF-GRID & REMOTE INSTALLATIONS Reliability is key: extremely high MTBF needed to counter ludicrous MTTR Ex-works cost: avoid doubling it by the time the turbine is installed Get there easily Get it up easily Balance-of-plant cost might tip the balance Grid: then it s there, then it s not Extreme ambient conditions will be average 6

7 DESIGN FOR RELIABILITY 7

MILESTONES The XANT development started with R&D on innovation drive-train concepts and aero-elastic tailoring for mid-size turbines. The XANT-M design was initiated in Feb.

The XANT-M design was initiated in Feb in collaboration with RISOE Danish Technical University 2010 Blade design with TU Delft & NREL 2011 first design has undergone Germanischer Lloyd Type-D Certification. Installation of prototype Validation of the Power Curve by a third party

9 WHY XANT? 10

10 STALL REGULATED ROTOR No pitch control : less failure prone parts Blade shape : optimal flow at low-to-medium wind speeds Aero-elastic blade tip : optimization of efficiency and reduction of peak loads 11

11 DIRECT DRIVE GENERATOR No gear box: less failure prone parts Permanent-magnet synchronous generator : higher efficiency Large-diameter DE bearing for +20year lifetime 12

12 EASY TRANSPORT All parts fit in a 40 container Low transport cost Possibility to deliver to remote locations 13

forklift capable of lifting 5tons Pre-tested

13 EASY ASSEMBLY 10 building blocks with bolted connections Assembly needing only a rough terrain forklift capable of lifting 5tons Pre-tested Control & Safety System with connector-equipped sensors & brakes 14

14 EASY ERECTION Gin pole with reeving systems : no cranes required Low erection cost Possibility to erect on remote locations 15

15 EASY O&M Excellent accessibility to all parts All repairs possible w/o crane except for rotor and generator 16

GRID SUPPORT Full power electronic converter Power Quality according to local grid : connection to local grid via circuit breaker panel Ready for off-grid use Wide power grid frequency & voltage

16 GRID SUPPORT Full power electronic converter Power Quality according to local grid : connection to local grid via circuit breaker panel Ready for off-grid use Wide power grid frequency & voltage range Ancillary services: grid voltage& frequency support Black-start after grid failure (for outages up to 3h) XANT Control System is prepared for communication with Energy Management System Optional integrated Energy Storage Unit (ESU) for enabling higher wind penetration ratios Optional integrated Dump Load Control (DLC) for autonomous off-grid applications 17
