5 Romax Wind Products & Services Romax focuses provides class leading products and services aimed at maximising energy yields and reducing wind asset operating costs: Software InSight ids predicts optimal maintenance time RomaxWind used by top 5 bearing manufacturers Hardware TCM No 1 CMS system installed on over 5000 wind turbines worldwide Drivetrain Technology Worlds largest Independent Wind Turbine Gearbox Designer Services Monitoring 24/7 Worldwide Condition and performance Inspection Due diligence, end of warranty Analysis Failure mode, root cause 5

6 Wind Industry Global Challenge Preventive Maintenance = Time based (OEM schedule) Reactive Maintenance = Run to fail Predictive Maintenance = Condition based Preventive Predictive Reactive Focus on preventive results in high cost of maintenance, low cost of failure; Focus on reactive results in low cost of maintenance, high cost of failure; Predicting optimal maintenance time key to reducing CoE. 6

7 InSight ids - Vibration & SCADA Diagnostics Platform InSight IDS is a revolutionary integrated diagnostics platform developed for wind farm operators by Romax offering the following innovative capabilities: Highly accurate monitoring results of wind turbine condition Integrated analysis to address operational and maintenance needs Vibration data categorized on wind turbine operational data to prevent false alarms Customized temperature data analysis together with vibration data Management of maintenance records 7

8 InSight ids Unified Visualisation of Fleet Condition InSight ids provides wind farm operators with unified visualisation of wind farm condition and performance: Integrates feeds from multiple wind farm CMS data streams Information displayed in a single intuitive user interface Potential faults and trends are identified quicker and more easily than otherwise possible 8

9 InSight SCADA Intuitive User Interface Data, analysis and other relevant information is shown in a user friendly display allowing non-expert users to use the system and manage fleet performance, worldwide: Manage entire wind farm in a single screen Romax monitoring team provide customized alarm rule for each turbine model Thresholds are automatically learned based on data Alarms based on failure modes of wind turbine components 9

11 Case Study: Scroby Sands Wind Farm in UK Source: WPM, 2010 Major offshore wind farm in operation: 30 No 2MW turbines Over a three year period All generators replaced Most gearbox replaced after many repairs 1500 visits iit by technicians i for repair and replacement Financial ca Underperformance Expected revenue roughly $ 16 million 1500 visits costs $ 12 million $ 2.4 million revenue loss for six months during major overhaul Unscheduled dgearbox replacement cost up to $1.6 million per gearbox 11

12 Client Target Using Romax Technology A B Reactive maintenance Predictive maintenance ~ 20 reactive maintenance visits per turbine per annum 2 scheduled maintenance visits per turbine per annum i.e.90% reduction Very high OPEX and production losses Very high OPEX savings and production improvements - tens of millions 12
