Few buyers here and there, but lack of news hasn’t brought anyone in. Solution in Wind: 1) Blade pitch systems currently utilize mostly lead acid battery technology for backup in an emergency situation to stop the turbine. These are mission critical and are expected to ensure the turbine shuts down properly without failure a) These use 3 per turbine, one per blade b) Battery solutions require yearly maintenance and have a short life compared to the expected 20-25 year life of the turbine, capacitor solutions have a much longer life c) Further, temp requirements for wind are -40F, which degrade battery power by more than 50% d) Offshore wind turbines are expensive to maintain and service life is a HUGE cost, minimizing service is a top priority for the industry. e) This is both a retrofit opportunity (>300,000 worldwide) as well as new turbine installation (10’s of thousands per year). 2) Grid storage - Wind is used in many locations where grid storage would be beneficial. a) Hawai’i and other locations are working hard to add renewable energy but require some sort of storage system paired with the installation. b) Current solutions are lead acid batteries which are unsafe and highly dangerous: i) Just one example: https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/battery-room-fire-at-kahuk u-wind-energy-storage-farm Articles on wind pitch systems: - https://www.nacleanenergy.com/articles/33350/emergency-pitch-control-how-ultracapacitor s-improve-efficiency-and-reduce-o-m-costs - https://www.windpowerengineering.com/reducing-om-costs-with-ultracapacitors-in-emerge ncy-pitch-control-systems/ - https://www.maxwell.com/images/documents/PES-Maxwell-Corporate-Wind.pdf - http://cdn.pes.eu.com/v/20160826/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/PES-W-3-Maxwell-talking- point-4-1.pdf - https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/global-wind-turbine-market-2020-to-2025---fea turing-general-electric-vestas-and-senvion-among-others-301188509.html https://www.ge.com/renewableenergy/sites/default/files/related_documents/wind-onshore -3mw-wind-turbine-platform-gea32208b-r1.pdf https://invenergy.com/assets/public-filings/Supplement-09-Ekola-Flats.Assorted-Turbine-Information.pdf
