Technical training for the wind turbine industry History Strong background.  Danish Wind Power Academy (DWPA) was founded in 2004 by technicians with strong experience from the wind turbine industry. Innovative educational concept.  We have developed an innovative educational concept for technical personnel at all levels.  Today our instructors together count on almost 60 years of practical “hands-on” experience with the challenges from all kind of turbines, but most important…. our instructors use precisely this valuable knowledge in our training courses.  High flexibility and adaptability with reference to the participants skills and backgrounds for targeted and efficient training.  Wide range of training courses divided within the following fields of study: - Mechanics - Hydraulics - Electrics - WTG controller and operation. Mission  To get turbines perform as desired by technicians achieving understanding of technology and operation . [Module index END] DWPA Presentation 2016 GB-R13 Page 2

Technical training for the wind turbine industry Target group, clients & products Target group.  We focus on the technicians as their knowledge and experience are decisive for operation of the wind turbines, but today we find more than 60% of our participants on our open training classes being O&M management seeking transparency. Furthermore we have a targeted program for new employees entering the wind turbine industry with absolutely no previous WTG background Clients.  Our typical clients is IPP´s, turbine owners and operators, 3 rd party service providers, and not at least a large number of very important sub suppliers to the industry  DONG Energy  Enbridge  Vattenfall  Atlantic Power  E.ON Climate & Renewables  Upwind Solutions  RWE  Iberdrola Renewables  Juwi Wind  Mitsubishi Power Systems  Renewable Energy Systems  Frontier Pro  Availon  EDF Renewables  WindMW  B9 Energy Ltd  DUKE Energy  ABB  AES  Bosch Rexroth  Statkraft  SKF  Meridian Energy  ZF Wind Power  Vestas Wind Technology Ltd  AGL Energy Ltd  Pacific Hydro  Siemens Wind Power A/S [Module index END] DWPA Presentation 2016 GB-R13 Page 3

Technical training for the wind turbine industry Concept About the DWPA training wheel.  We see a training course as a dynamic 1. Uncovering process starting with the uncovering of a of the need need for more knowledge or practical experience.  If the need can be met in the best way by a customer adjusted training course, the process shown will then be passed through step by step. 2. Exchange of  When the acquired knowledge and 5. Reinforcement documentation experience are anchored, you will see the favourable profit of the training course in your organisation.  However, the process does not stop here. The need to develop knowledge lasts for ever and therefore the training process will be never-ending.  Please visit our website at www.danishwpa.com for more detailed 4.

Technical training for the wind turbine industry 1. Uncovering of the need. Portfolio driven utility in the US.  Required performance on 450 MW must be reached 1. Uncovering  Operational control of assets after EOW of the need. Park 1 TX, 54 2,3 MW turbines, 124,2 MW TOC 2006 Park 2 TX, 55 2,3 MW turbines, 126,5 MW TOC 2008 Park 3 TX, 87 2,3 MW turbines, 200,1 MW TOC 2010  Future focus on unit performance instead of park performance KPI´s: On unit basis – Loss of production MW/h & USD  Build up in-house operational excellence  Find, select and train necessary staff for operation  Certification / knowledge / skills demands set for all operation personnel 2. Exchange of 5. Anchoring  Target group for training: Risk, Asset, Operation, Site Management, Lead and Assistant technicians documentation  Improved operational and financial transparency 4.

Technical training for the wind turbine industry 2. Exchange of documentation. Relevant operation data and documentation to be exchanged 1. Uncovering  Today´s performance is presented by numbers and SCADA downloads of error, warning and event logs of the need.  Special site conditions and specific operational challenges among main components, systems and sub systems are presented  Wind turbine and possible site specific turbine documentation will be exchanged and create foundation for training  First analyses of errors done and estimated ROI on training calculated 2. Exchange of  First thoughts about skills and background needed from the technicians 5. Reinforcement documentation N/A OK Received Documentation Comments Installation Manual Not relevant Operation Manual x 300 pg Sparepart Catalogue x No ABB parts yet Misc. Work Instruction W/I x MK II not MK IV Maintenance Manual x Electric diagram WPS User Manual x 200-300 pg Error responce list x Timestamps not valid Electrical diagram: Turbine x 500 pg, wrong project Parameter list x Electrical diagram: Converteam or ABB x ABB, only prototype doc [Module index END] DWPA Presentation 2016 GB-R13 Page

Technical training for the wind turbine industry 2.2 Will perfect scheduled maintenance give you failure free operation? Today´s maintenance KPIs don’t reflect the true cost of the “competencies gap” “Checklists” assume a high level of competencies possessed by the technicians, but even this is not enough to reduce downtime.

Technical training for the wind turbine industry 3. Development. We develop training courses for all people in OMS of turbines, based on their own assets and challenges.  General cross knowledge of safe and correct operation of the particular turbine. 1.
