1 Hydraulic & lubrication solutions for the wind turbine industry PMC Windsyn Division

2 Power, Motion, Control Innovation based on experience and customer orientation PMC Windsyn is the centre of all wind turbine related activities in PMC Group. PMC Windsyn provides hydraulic and lubrication systems for wind turbines, and have specialised in hydraulic systems for pitch, brake and yaw as well as systems for lube oil conditioning and cooling. PMC Windsyn offers a full range of hydraulic solutions to all Power, Motion and Control functions in a modern wind turbine, whether these are integrated systems or standalone solutions. We have the experience and technical knowhow to support the whole process from early design and construction to installation and operation, service and maintenance. Our strategy is to be an integrated partner throughout the complete supply chain, and our success is based on many years of experience with hydraulic and lubrication oil systems, combined with creativity and extensive knowledge of wind technology applications. The wind turbine industry has developed rapidly and extensively. Not only technologically but also in terms of higher expectations for supplier skills and competences in a broader perspective and through the complete supply chain. PMC Windsyn is recognised as an innovative partner in these areas. Our strategy is to be an integrated partner throughout the complete supply chain 2

3 True partnership through the complete supply chain PMC Windsyn represents synergy: Synergy between businesses, experience, innovation and technology. PMC Windsyn understands that synergy across the entire supply chain, from end user to manufacturers of wind turbines and their suppliers, is essential. We offer specialist knowhow right from hydraulic cylinders and components to customer specific systems in an industry with an outspoken demand for customised high performance solutions. 3

4 Power, Motion, Control Our products and solutions from a technical perspective PMC Windsyn has the right technology for all operational conditions from low to high temperatures, as well as on/offshore environments. Hydraulic solutions There are many benefits to be gained by selecting hydraulic solutions. When choosing a hydraulic power unit in a wind turbine to provide power for pitch control, other functions like yaw, drive or brake systems can be integrated, reducing the total number of systems required, and thus reducing the overall costs. Power units for pitch, yaw and brake can be delivered as independent subsystems for single purpose use if, for example, it is more beneficial to the overall design. Oil cooler and heating elements can be integrated in the power unit when the wind turbine is working in a high/low temperature environment. Furthermore, hydraulic solutions are characterised by a low weight-to-power ratio. Lubrication and cooling PMC Windsyn has developed complete, reliable and safe systems for wind turbines based on our experience with lubrication and cooling systems. In order to comply with the demand for high turbine availability and long service intervals in the wind energy sector, we supply a combination of high quality components and knowhow which ensures best in class lubrication and cooling performance.

7 Power, Motion, Control Experience and extensive knowhow PMC Windsyn has collaborated with leading wind turbine manufacturers since the early days of commercial wind turbines. Our experience dates back to the days where the largest turbines had a capacity of 200 KW and until modern times supply of systems and components to multi MW turbines. Being a leading solution provider for more than 25 years, the core competences are design and production of complete hydraulic systems. PMC Windsyn collaborates with the most innovative and professional suppliers in the industry, and we are capable of delivering worldwide. Being part of PMC Group we have access to extensive knowhow in other application areas such as offshore & marine, energy, industry and mobile systems. This wide field of experience enables us to provide innovative and unique technical solutions, characterised by high operational reliability. PMC Group s combined development resources totals 300 engineers and designers at PMC s Nordic companies your guarantee for functionality and quality. 7

10 Power, Motion, Control Following customer demands We are global just like our customers. At PMC Windsyn we strive to attain a global position in the wind turbine industry and to follow our customers in their global expansion. The growth rate in the wind turbine industry requires tailor-made and customised systems to be produced globally. You can find PMC Windsyn where our customers have their production and markets, whether it is Europe, North America or Asia. This brings us closer to our customers local manufacturing facilities. We can offer global Nordic solutions with dependable technology and quality from our ISO certified and LEAN compliant production setups. Our plant in Denver, USA, is a good example of how we set up local manufacturing with local supply chains in collaboration with existing customers in the wind power industry. That way, we live up to our status as their preferred supplier. Operational excellence Demands on suppliers in the wind turbine industry are changing as technology matures. One of the major recent changes in the industry is increased focus on the suppliers operational excellence and process innovation. Process innovation is required in every step of the supply chain from design and construction to production, service and logistics. Over the years, we have prepared ourselves for these changes, and we have built our organisation and processes to meet these demands. This goes for everything from design and construction to production, logistics and service. We continuously monitor and optimise our performance and processes taking the complete supply chain into perspective and always with a global view. We know that our customers do the same. 10

13 Power, Motion, Control Delivering optimal quality assurance with the Six Sigma philosophy Our customers expect on time and, not least, zero defect deliveries. Quality control and quality assurance are thus PMC Windsyn s top priorities which is why we have worked with Six Sigma since Six Sigma is an internationally recognised quality and management philosophy focusing on identifying and removing the causes of defects (errors) and minimising variations in manufacturing and business processes. Based on our customers requirements as well as actual data, all causes of defects are analysed and eliminated. This creates high quality as well as improved efficiency to the benefit of both customers and PMC Windsyn. From the Six Sigma tool box we often use the data driven DMAIC model, which can both streamline processes and solve complex production issues. DMAIC stands for: Define Measure Define Analyse Improve Control Control DMAIC Measure Improve Analyse 13
