Field Verified Wind Turbine Generator System Power Performance for the XZERES 442 Wind Turbine, 2012. Competitor product perform ance information as published on their respective websites. XZERES Performance data independently verified in the Wind Turbine Generator System Power Performance Test Report for the XZE RES 442SR Wind Turbine, February 2010 by the National Renewable Energy Lab. System improvements verified by field data have seen power production increases up to 20% in varying wind speeds. Competitors’ total cost of energy has been calculated by XZERES bas ed on product performance information gathered from competitors websites. Wind energy systems include the turbine, tower, inv ert er and controller. Tower cost normalized for all turbines at £ 6,000, unless tower is included in manufacturer pricing. Total c ost of energy an IRR includes estimated installation costs of £12,000, which can vary significantly based on location. Includes a nn ual maintenance costs of 0.5% for direct drive systems, 1.0% for active pitch and active yaw driven turbines without gearbox and 1.5% per fo r g earbox driven systems based on evidence that wind power systems utilizing a gear box -- versus direct drive system -- have highe r maintenance costs. This analysis assumes energy usage is half of production. Bonus export is assumed on half of energy produc tio n and 12p energy cost savings on the remaining half. 31 XZERES 442SR 10kW - Comparing Product and Profit: UK Market Value Proposition - A Compelling Investment in Wind Power WHAT YOU SEE IS NOT NECESSARILY WHAT YOU GET… Rated power is a function of rotor swept area and turbine efficiency at a given wind speed Rated power is not defined consistently across manufactures However, rated power does not address total cost of per kWh or ROI THE PROOF IS IN THE COST OF ENERGY… Cost of energy per kWh = total annual system cost (including amortization of tower, turbine, installation plus annual maintenance) / annual production The XZERES 442SR has a lower total Cost of Energy than the competition …AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, HIGHER RETURN ON INVESTMENT Due to a lower Cost of Energy, the XZERES 442SR has a better ROI than the competition £0.0972 £0.1106 £0.1179 £0.1249 £0.1301 £0.1348 XZERES 442SR Evoco C&F11 Bergey Gaia Wind Aircon Cost of Energy at 6 m/s 19.11% 18.86% 18.59% 15.86% 14.42% 14.27% XZERES 442SR Evoco C&F11 Gaia Wind Aircon Bergey Internal Rate of Return at 6 m/s

Utility Equipment failures resulting in localized blackouts Up to $ 500 million in additional annual fuel consumption needed to make electricity* Up to 700,000 tons of additional annual CO2 Emissions* (480 million lbs of extra CO2 Emissions Daily) *NYSERDA, 2010 report for Con Ed Service area

What is Reactive Power ? Excess, Unneeded Energy Stored in Electrical Equipment that is Sent in Reverse through an Electrical System and to the Utility Network Raises Currents Throughout Customer’s Premise and Utility System Causes Excess Thermal Losses Which Are Wasted Energy Amount of Reactive Power and System Efficiency is Represented by a value referred to as Power Factor (Power Factor of 1.0 is Optimal

Power Factor Power Factor: ratio of power needed to do work to the power delivered by the utility Power Factor is the measure of how efficiently power is consumed Power Factor is measured as a % between 0 & 100%. Anything under 90.0% is a prime target Higher Power Factors signal an effective utilization of power A load with low Power Factor draws more current than a load with high Power Factor for the same amount of useful power , thus utilizing more electricity KVAR is used as a measurement to correct poor PF

Energy Savings Resulting from Network Wide Power Factor Correction Reduce Transmission Losses by 8% Reduce Customer Premise Losses by 4% measured in kWh Reduce Customer Premise Energy Demand measured in kW NYSERDA report on at load PF Correction, 2010

What do we gain by installing Power Factor Correction ? Improves Utility Power Factor. Even greater reduction of grid losses by reducing KVAR and KW Reduces Customer building losses and lowers the utility bill by about 4% Reduces thermal degradation of facility electrical devices and associated maintenance. Pays for itself
