4 About us

5 What we do Founded in 2008, our employees today develop reliable upto-100-percent renewable energy systems that can outcompete fossil-based systems o Since 2006 we have been continuously identifying commercially viable energy storage technologies o Combine these technologies with innovative grid control and energy management solutions o Pioneer market models that reduce overall economic cost and provide attractive returns for investors Consulting Planning Development Construction Operation Page 5 Younicos Company Presentation 2012

6 The Challenge

7 The challenge Integrating fluctuating energy sources like sun and wind into existing electrical grids poses technical challenges: o Need to match electricity generation and demand at any given moment o Current dependence on the spinning mass of large generators to adjust production to demand o Low resulting limit (< 20%) of sun- and wind generated power that can be used safely Our renewables-based energy systems break this dependence on fossil generators by combining reliable storage with innovative grid control and energy management solutions Page 7 Younicos Company Presentation 2012

8 Our Services

9 Our services We offer the full suite of services from initial analysis to project development, planning and engineering, construction and operation & maintenance. Plan Energy system analysis Energy roadmap development System design and simulation Project development and financial structuring Detailed engineering and planning Procurement and construction System management and monitoring Page 9 Younicos Company Presentation 2012

10 Business Segments & Projects

11 Renewable autonomous energy systems Page 11 Younicos Company Presentation 2012

12 Renewable autonomous energy systems We design and build ready-to-use CO2-free supply systems for islands, industrial sites, mines or off-grid villages Islands and remote areas with no link to the grid, supply with renewable energies is a commercially viable alternative to conventional diesel generators Our team has years of experience in building large renewable energy power plants We are experts in storage technologies and intelligent power controls to stabilize the energy grid Page 12 Younicos Company Presentation 2012

13 Graciosa project

14 The Graciosa project Younicos is building a megawatt scale energy grid capable of running without a fossil fuel generator on the Azorean island of Graciosa in the middle of the Atlantic ocean inhabitants 100% renewable generation during the majority of the year >70% of total annual consumption generated by renewable sources Competitive against current system In cooperation with the local utility Project start: 2012 Wind Power 5,4 MW Solar Power 500 KW Storage 2,5 MW Page 14 Younicos Company Presentation 2012

15 Younicos Technology Center

16 Younicos Technology Center On our campus in Berlin, we have built a megawatt scale technology center containing actual hardware needed to run grids based on 100% renewable energy sources. In addition to demonstrating our innovative grid control and energy management strategies, this center also provides: Component supplier qualification Technical due diligence New technology assessment Employee and partner training Page 16 Younicos Company Presentation 2012

17 Technology Center components Younicos designed intelligent inverter, energy management, and battery power plant systems Various battery technologies: a 1MW/6MWh sodium-sulphur (NaS) unit; a 200 kw/200kwh lithium-ion unit; and several 5 kw/ 4 kwh lithium-titanate units Transmission grid with up to 14 km of 15 kv medium voltage line Wind, solar, and load simulators capable of recreating actual energy flows anywhere on the planet based on high-resolution data Battery test laboratory where we have evaluated over lifetime cycles of various battery cell technologies Page 17 Younicos Company Presentation 2012

18 2 x 500kW/3MWh NaS Battery (NGK)

19 2 x 500kW Battery Inverters (IDS)

20 1 MW Wind, PV and Load Simulators

21 Overhead Line Simulation

22 1 MW Diesel Generator

23 Artificial Synchronous Generator Battery Inverter Y-Inverter Controller = Battery stores wind and PV energy for times of low renewable production, thus maximizing renewable penetration Matching production and load Frequency control Voltage control Short circuit power Generators displace renewable energies, thus limiting the renewable penetration
