6 Areva Wind activities AREVA supplies the most powerful operationally proven offshore turbine on the market A wind turbine designed specifically for offshore use, with a focus on reliability in harsh sea conditions A light-weight structure providing customers with facilitated installation and maintenance AREVA s offshore wind activities cover Turbine design, manufacturing, assembly, and commissioning Maintenance services Major successful ramp-up of the Bremerhaven facility from 85MW in 2011 to over 250MW fully-tested in 2012 p.6

7 Building leading experience and track record within the 5MW offshore turbine segment 2004 Installation of first prototype turbine Contributed to the design testing and technology verification Two additional onshore turbines installed Contributed to installation and erection sequences including lifting accessories, logistics, serial manufacturing Onshore operational experiences Experience from onshore commissioning to validate procedure prior to offshore project execution. Development of service organization. Set-up of spare part stock Offshore operational experiences Validation and improvement of offshore service life-time management and spare parts concept Second prototype installed Contributed to the building know-how on tripods 2007 Spring New production facility in Bremerhaven 2008 Implementation of full test stand for turbine control system 2009 EPC supply of six turbines to Alpha Ventus Validation of lifting and transportation equipment, logistics concept and installation procedure and commissioning know-how Alpha Ventus nacelle swap Validation and improvement of logistics concept and verification of turbine design and root-causeanalysis 2011 Unique 5MW full load test bench for an optimized quality control. p.7

11 AREVA Wind M5000 medium speed platform 5 MW: M5000 Wind Turbine designed specifically for harsh sea conditions Lightweight: nacelle about 270T Compact: design made possible by the intelligent integration of the rotor bearing gearbox and generator Reliable: reduce risk of damage to the central drive train thanks to low rotational speed and the low number of rotating parts Protected: equipped with a patented air treatment system that filters out the corrosive particles p.11

12 Continuous improvement of the technology Swept rotor area: 10,568 m 2 Swept rotor area: 14,326 m 2 Based on proven M5000 Platform Product Line Extension with Proven Technology M Rotor Diameter 116 m Class 1B Market Germany, UK In series production M Rotor Diameter 135 m Class S & Class 1B Ger, Fr, UK (early round 3) Prototype H st Delivery H p.12

13 Unique in the industry: AREVA Wind onshore pre-commissioning centre A 2.5 day testing programme Ramp up in steps Power up to 3 MW, retained 3 hours 1st component checks Power up 5 MW 2nd component checks Power up to 5 MW, The value added of the test bench Gain in time during commissioning Continuous improvement of quality and reliability of WTG Mitigation of supply chain risks More efficient process for prototype testing and R&D development p.13

14 Partnership with Geosea Hochtief to optimise WTGs installation: Innovation vessel An optimised offshore logistic solution A new vessel customized for 5MW+ WTGs Installation possible in harsher weather conditions Flexibility to install WTGs and foundations Cooperation between AREVA and Hochtief / GeoSea Heavy-lift jack-up vessel with helideck, selfpropelled Enlarged weather window for far offshore installation Length m, Breadth 42.00m, Depth 11.00m Accommodation for up to 120 persons incl. crew Under construction in the Gdansk shipyard Will be used for the Global Tech 1 project p.14

15 Fast, reliable and experienced repair strategy On board crane In situ repairs Can access small parts as well as individual parts from the lower deck, tower and hub Can take a load of up to 1550 kg Can access all components in the nacelle housing Can winched down in front of the hub opening Can lift and winched down from the tower area Provides access to the generator cover and the ventilators Blade maintenance platform Perform bigger blade repairs in-situ Allow safer work compared to rope access Reduce risk for blade exchanges Perform blade repairs offshore Main Exchange Single blade exchange Blade dragon No need for rotor dismantling / lifting operation Lower risk of damage to the WTG Optimised and accelerated repair times Only 1 crane necessary Usage of shorter weather windows Main component exchange Optimised operation processes Higher availability High quality due to onshore repair No interface problems p.15
