www.x-windpower.com CONFIDENTIAL – PLEASE DO NOT DISTRIBUTE WITHOUT PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT FROM X-WIND POWER LTD The issues … its annoying, ruins your Xmas dinner Can present health risks Adversely affects businesses Compensation costs Costs and CO2 of standby generators …. becomes political
5
www.x-windpower.com CONFIDENTIAL – PLEASE DO NOT DISTRIBUTE WITHOUT PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT FROM X-WIND POWER LTD The issues You need energy & batteries … …. BUT …. Its all expensive You need a way of creating value from your all assets.

www.x-windpower.com CONFIDENTIAL – PLEASE DO NOT DISTRIBUTE WITHOUT PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT FROM X-WIND POWER LTD Solution partners The generator provides value through energy off-set and incentives such as feed-in tariffs Value is created from batteries when they are used, the more they are used the more value created Ideally: Payments for -Resilience provided -Stand-by & utilisation -Grid upgrade avoidance -Grid balancing / fault limiting Needs fast reaction times -Arbitrage
7
www.x-windpower.com CONFIDENTIAL – PLEASE DO NOT DISTRIBUTE WITHOUT PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT FROM X-WIND POWER LTD The solutions Battery characteristics: -Long life, 10,000+ cycles -Variable power vs. energy -Low LCOS -Rapid reaction time Expandable
8
www.x-windpower.com CONFIDENTIAL – PLEASE DO NOT DISTRIBUTE WITHOUT PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT FROM X-WIND POWER LTD The solutions System characteristics: -Generation -Storage -Expandable -Ability to predict -local supply and demand -Weather -Potential for grid faults -Ability to measure flows to realise revenues Community Energy Scotland: -Access to communities -Understanding of issues

www.x-windpower.com CONFIDENTIAL – PLEASE DO NOT DISTRIBUTE WITHOUT PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT FROM X-WIND POWER LTD The solutions Benefits: -Ability to ‘island’ and reconnect -Stand-by operating reserve payments -Grid-balancing payments -Grid-upgrade avoidance payments -Arbitrage [trading] -Improved voltages -Improved frequencies -Improved thermal constraints -Local system resilience -lower compensation provision -Health -Business -Capital expenditure generating revenues
10
www.x-windpower.com CONFIDENTIAL – PLEASE DO NOT DISTRIBUTE WITHOUT PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT FROM X-WIND POWER LTD The solutions Application in developing markets: -1.4 bn people off-grid, no power [ world bank ] -1.1+ bn people on weak grids [ economist ] -2.8bn people rely on solid fuels for cooking -Estimated to kill 1.5m people p/a -2,000 off-grid communities in N Canada alone [ diesel generation ] -UK only 16% of DNO quotes for grid connection progress to completion [ grid constrained, high costs ]
11
www.x-windpower.com CONFIDENTIAL – PLEASE DO NOT DISTRIBUTE WITHOUT PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT FROM X-WIND POWER LTD The solutions 2.5+ bn People need power with: -Good power quality -[ or things do not work properly ] -Resilience -Ability to loose grid and reconnect [ islanding ] -Ability to trade energy -Ability to manage changing demands over time Improving health, quality of life & prosperity Lowering CO2
12
www.x-windpower.com CONFIDENTIAL – PLEASE DO NOT DISTRIBUTE WITHOUT PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT FROM X-WIND POWER LTD The solutions Partnerships: -Once the integrated system is complete we would look for project partners to apply the technology in those places of greatest need.
