1 GE Power & Water Renewable Energy Digital Wind Farm THE NEXT EVOLUTION OF WIND ENERGY

2 GE S DIGITAL WIND FARM PITCH Since entering the wind industry in 2002, GE Power & Water s Renewable Energy business has invested more than $2 billion in next generation wind turbines. Whether at the turbine, plant, or grid level, GE continues to focus on providing more value for our customers. Through the use of advanced analytics, GE s Renewable Energy business is redefining the future of wind power, delivering on proven performance, availability and reliability. With the integration of big data and the industrial internet, the company is helping to manage the variability of wind to provide smooth, predictable power. Our current product portfolio includes wind turbines with rated capacities ranging from 1.6 MW to 3.2 MW and support services ranging from development assistance to site planning, operation and maintenance. WIND POWER DOMAIN BIG DATA Predix CONTROLS For more information visit our website: 2 ONITORING SOFTWARE CoE

3 THE NEXT EVOLUTION OF WIND ENERGY GE s Digital Wind Farm GE s Digital Wind Farm is a product portfolio comprised of GE s newest wind turbines, predictive analytics, and performance optimization controls, that over the course of a wind farm s life will improve its energy output by up to 20% compared to previous technology with a standard configuration. By using GE s MW wind turbine, combined with multiple rotor lengths and tower height options, a wind farm can be optimized to address environmental effects such as sheer, wakes, and turbulence intensity. This MW turbine model leverages a universal machine head, hub and DTA to simplify physical optimization of wind farm layout, and reduce installation time and cost. By simulating site characteristics to select a unique turbine configuration for every pad, the annual energy production (AEP) of a wind farm will increase when compared to one built with a single turbine type. The second portion of Digital Wind Farm is optimization of turbine performance and equipment life through use of predictive analytics software. Predix, an open developer software platform, will provide the digital infrastructure beneath the turbine hardware of the Digital Wind Farm, allowing a customer to connect, monitor, predict, and optimize both unit and site performance. Through constant collection of real time data, weather, component messages, service reports, and performance of similar models in GE fleets, a predictive model is built. This model serves as the basis for forecasting all maintenance needs and creating a plan of the day for wind farm operation. This digital feedback loop will allow the farm operator to eliminate unplanned maintenance events, reduce operating expenses and capture higher power output from machines that are operating more efficiently and reliably. Finally, the Digital Wind Farm employs GE s Wind PowerUp* Services, a combination of data analytics and controls solutions, to maximize farm output. By understanding the real time environmental conditions the wind farm is experiencing, PowerUp will instruct individual turbines to boost performance in response to changes in wake, shear, and turbulence. This enables each turbine to produce more energy over the project lifecycle, without compromising turbine design life. 3

4 GE S DIGITAL WIND FARM Building Upon Proven Technology The 2MW Platform: The evolution of GE s 1.5 MW turbine design began with the 1.5i turbine introduced in The 65-meter rotor diameter turbine soon was increased to 70.5-meters in the 1.5s, then to 77-meters in the 1.5sle turbine that was introduced in Building on the exceptional performance and reliability of the 1.5sle, GE introduced the 1.5xle with its 82.5-meter diameter in Subsequent improvements in design led to the introduction of the turbine in 2008 followed by the in 2011, and ultimately the and in Ongoing investment in the industry workhorse resulted in the introduction of GE s and , wind turbines with a 100-meter rotor. This product evolution provides increased capacity factor while increasing AEP by 20 24% over the previous models. Built from the maturity of its predecessors, the MW platform evolution provides increased capacity factor while increasing AEP and application space of GE s 1-2MW platform of products. Significant component enhancements to the 1.x models have resulted in a substantial performance increase over previous technology, enabling the use of a 107m and 116m rotor on the 1.x series, and a nameplate range of MW (with applicable rotor). These enhancements include: new [delete optimized ] aerodynamic design enabling a greater blade length (116m rotor), larger bedplate, generator frame and gearbox, controls improvements, and enhanced power conversion capabilities resulting in an increase in nameplate and AEP. Designed for high reliability, GE s MW platform can provide excellent availability, comparable with the 1.x series units operating in the field today. 4

5 THE NEXT EVOLUTION OF WIND ENERGY Specifications: MW, 107-meter rotor wind turbine: Designed to IEC ed3, Class IIS MW, 116-meter rotor wind turbine: Designed to IEC ed 3, Class IIIS Standard and cold weather extreme options Standard tower corrosion protection: C2 internal and C3 external with internal and external C4/C5 options available Rotational direction: Clockwise viewed from an upwind location Speed regulation: Electric drive pitch control with battery backup Aerodynamic brake: Full feathering of blade pitch Features and Benefits MW, 107-meter rotor: Higher AEP than its 1.x predecessors by incorporating a larger gearbox scaled from GE s 2.x platform and longer 52.2-meter blades MW, 116-meter rotor: GE proprietary 56.9-meter blade; highest capacity factor in its class Designed to meet or exceed the 1.x platform s historic high availability Grid friendly options are available: Enhanced Reactive Power, Voltage Ride Thru, Power Factor Control Wind Farm Control System; WindSCADA* 5

6 GE S DIGITAL WIND FARM Construction Towers: Tubular steel sections provide a hub height of either 80 or 94 meters; space frame technology will provide variable hub heights up to 139-meters. Blades: GE 52.2-meter blades (107-meter rotor), and GE 56.9-meter blades (116-meter rotor) Drivetrain components: GE s MW platform uses an enhanced-design gearbox, main shaft, and generator with appropriate improvements to enable the 107-meter diameter rotor in medium winds, and the 116-meter rotor in lower wind speeds 6

7 THE NEXT EVOLUTION OF WIND ENERGY Enhanced Controls Technology The MW wind turbine products employ enhanced control features including: GE s patented Advanced Loads Control reduces loads on turbine components by measuring stresses and individually adjusting blade pitch Controls developed by GE Global Research to reduce extreme loads, including those near rated wind speeds, to improve Annual Energy Production (AEP) Predix digital infrastructure: Connect, Monitor, Predict, and Optimize; predictive analytics assessing real time data to optimize performance and reduce maintenance costs Condition Monitoring System (SCADA Anomaly Detection Services): Remote monitoring & diagnostics; proactively detect impending drive train and whole-turbine issues enabling increased availability and decreased maintenance expenses. PowerUp: Performance optimization based on real-time operating conditions 7
