About RISPL - O&M Plans
O&M PLANS - IN THE PIPELINE
3rd Party O&M Contracts
There is potential for about 10,000 MW of O&M for turbines manufactured by third parties who are under distress and not able to effectively provide O&M services. RISPL is actively targeting such opportunities and is in discussion with many large IPPs for maintenance of these contracts. There is visibility of an immediate contract of 1300 MW which will be soon added to RISPL’s portfolio.
The estimated maintenance cost will be in range of Rs. 10 lakh per turbine with a margin of 65%.
The surplus generated by RISPL from 3rd Party O&M and other sources will be utilized towards setting up Independent Power Providers (IPPs) in RISPL. The IPPs will provide greater value to RISPL’s portfolio and ensure steady and growing O&M business in future.
IPP Business – Rational
High Power Yield
• IPPs are developed at very windy sites which have a very high power yield. RPPL has invested in very good sites, a list of which is attached alongside.
• Such sites are very rare and considered prized locations as compared to other normal sites. The premium on these sites is very hefty.
Returns
• Effective IRR of 14-16% on equity for a project cycle of 25 years in a low interest regime.
• The project is able to service higher amount of debt.
• It makes a sense to invest in IPP as the debt component will be paid off in a very
few years and the projects soon become debt free.
• The value of the project expands as the premium increases, as projects become
debt free and generation is actually visible.
Potential
• The IPPs are ‘Role Model Projects’ for investors who are not looking for depreciation benefits.
• IPP business is preferred by Overseas Institutional Investors and Fund Managers.

RISK ANALYSIS
Risks Mi gants
About RISPL - Risk Analysis
Revenue Risk
Technology dependence on RPPL
Penalties in case of non performance
Force majeure events
• Long term contracts with reputed clients provide assured revenue streams with pre-agreed annual escalation
• No incidence of clients moving away from Wind Turbine Manufacturers (WTMs), even though some WTMs have become financially weak and not able to provide satisfactory O&M services
• Considering O&M expenses are about 10% of revenues for Project Developers, they are not expected to default in payment to RISPL
• Contract with RPPL for continued support performance of RISPL
• Performance and sustained business (order book) of RPPL depends on RISPL’s
performance on O&M front, so RPPL is unlikely to renege on its responsibility • Even in case of a default by RPPL, spare parts/materials can be sourced from
suppliers in China (Goldwind is a licensee of Vensys technology in China)
• Over the years, availability of wind turbines managed by RISPL has been over 96% which is considered to be one of the best in the industry
• Given the experience of the team and robust process in place, there is very limited scope for non-performance
• Adequate insurance in place (~Rs. 6000 cr currently) to take care of any major failures / calamities

Deconstructing O&M
Proper Management of operating windfarms is critical to maximising returns from a windfarm investment. This requires pro-active Operation and Maintenance (O&M) to extract every possible hour of availability from the turbines.
18


Introduc on
Proper Management of operating windfarms is critical to maximising returns from a windfarm investment. Unlike traditional electricity generation plants, the operation and maintenance (O&M) of a windfarm is often outsourced to a third party. This is particularly true given that many windfarm owners are investment consortiums, who have no intention of taking a hands-on approach to managing the operation of their windfarm. The role given to a windfarm Operations Manager varies from site to site, and the scope is usually tailored to suit the needs of the windfarm owner. If the owner views the windfarm asset purely as an investment, he may wish to see no more than a monthly production and budget statement. Owners who have a more substantial portfolio of generation facilities may take on the day-to-day management themselves, and engage assistance for specialised services only.
Purpose of O&M
The primary aim of windfarm operations and maintenance is to minimise the production costs per unit of energy generated over the life of the asset.
Broadly, this is achieved by:
• minimising operational and maintenance costs
• improving turbine performance/yield
• lowering insurance risk
• protecting assets
Opera on and Maintenance Costs
Modern wind turbines are designed to work for 120,000 hours throughout their estimated life-span of 20 years. This would be the turbine operating for approximately 66% of the time for two decades. The maintenance costs of a new turbine are usually very low but as the turbine ages these costs increase.
For modern machines, the estimated maintenance costs are in the range of 1.5% to 2% of the original investment per annum. Older wind turbines have an average annual maintenance cost of 3% of the original cost of the turbine.
Because newer turbines are usually substantially larger, there is an economy of scale and lower maintenance costs per kW of rated power. This is simply because one does not need to service a large turbine any more often than a small one. Further, with the constant development of new materials and techniques, R&M costs on modern machines is lower. Studies done in Denmark on the 5000 wind turbines installed in the country since 1975 has demonstrated that each new generations of turbines has had
lower repair and maintenance costs than the previous generation. (The studies compared wind turbines which were built and erected at approximately the same time, but which belong to different technological generations).
Most of the maintenance cost of a wind turbine is a fixed amount each year for regular servicing, but is preferable to base the maintenance cost on a kWh rate. This is purely because wear and tear increases on the turbine with increasing production, so there is a balance between savings and cost.

COMPONENTS OF O&M
Generating Plant
Response To Alarms
Operations Managers will usually need to guarantee response times to alarms, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Depending on the alarm, a local or remote reset may be necessary, or technicians may be asked to attend site for a diagnosis.
Inspections
Inspection of wind turbines should be conducted on a regular basis, usually at three monthly intervals. The nacelle should be checked carefully for oil leakage or any other indicators that may suggest an imminent problem.
Repairs And Maintenance
The Operations Manager is responsible for ensuring scheduled maintenance is carried out. Non-scheduled repairs and maintenance must be carried out swiftly and in times of low wind to minimise loss of production. Prompt assessment, organisation and supervision of the work is of utmost importance. To reduce the potential for extended downtime due to lead time in obtaining spares, the Operations Manager may be asked to advise on and maintain an inventory of spares on site, particularly if the windfarm is located in a remote area.
20


Site Management
The scope of a full operation and maintenance contract may extend beyond the generating plant to include the entire windfarm site including access tracks, auxiliary buildings and electrical infrastructure.
Liaison
Liaison is a key role in managing an operational windfarm. The Operations Manager is the conduit
for communications between the windfarm owner, turbine manufacturer, maintenance contractors, inspectors, land owners, neighbours, authorities and emergency services. Public relations duties with local press or schools may also be required.
Response To Site Issues
Events which may require immediate response include reports of trespassers, accidents or vandalism on site.
Site Inspections
Although modern data systems mean that a full time presence on windfarm sites is not necessary, regular and thorough inspections of the balance of windfarm infrastructure is a must. This includes inspection of gates, fences, access tracks, signage, met masts and electrical infrastructure. When site facilities do require repair or maintenance, it is up to the Operations Manager to organise quotations for the work, ensure its satisfactory completion and certify resulting invoices.
Health & Safety
A Health & Safety Management Plan, incorporating risk assessments, method statements and procedures, should be created and maintained for the life of the windfarm. Health and safety auditing of contractors and regular inspection of on site safety equipment are carried out.
Condition Monitoring
The latest trends in wind turbine maintenance and operation strategies incorporate the use of condition monitoring systems.
Condition monitoring involves the measurement of physical operating parameters and analysing time based trends and specific characteristics to predict failure of individual components.
Different methods are used for condition monitoring such as measurement of vibration for moving parts, sample particle levels in oil and thermographic temperature sensing, use of strain gauges (including optic fibre) embedded into structural elements such as blades and towers, incorporating condition monitoring technologies into newer multi MW designs. Many of the wind turbine manufacturers offer centralised remote monitoring centres that are able to monitor the wind turbines, reset remotely and notify local personnel if on site attendance is required.
Condition monitoring requires also putting in place the systems that to ensure receipt of appropriate and timely data and further, that the data collected is analysed and respond to correctly.
21


Reporting
From the enormous amount of data collected on the databases of modern windfarms, the Operations Manager must extract what is most relevant to the windfarm owner and present the information in a concise, readable form. Monthly and annual reports are the norm. This includes production (in MWh and monetary terms) versus budget, scheduled and non-scheduled servicing, availability, capacity factors, alarms, downtime, expenditure and any other information which would be of interest to the windfarm owner.
IMPORTANT ISSUES IN O&M
Economies of Scale
Economies of Scale: As well as the economies of scale which you would benefit from based on the size of the turbine, there may be savings that can be made when operating wind parks over individual turbines. These economies would be based on the six-monthly maintenance visits, surveillance and administration, of the site. This would be saving on a per kW basis.
Turbine Reinvestment: Some of the components within a wind turbine are subject to more wear and tear than others. Generally a moving part wears out faster than a static
part and an exposed component faster than its shielded alternative. The parts which
generally wear out fastest are the rotor blades and gearboxes.
In many cases, when a wind turbine comes to end of its technical design life, it
may be more cost effective to refit the existing turbine to increase its lifetime rather than replace it, since the the tower itself would be in good condition and safe for a considerable amount of time. A major overhaul would include a replacing some of the internal workings and the rotor blades.
Although the typical price of replacement components (set of rotor blades, a gearbox and generator) is 15% - 20% of the price of a new turbine, a thorough check has to be made of the other components to be sure that they are safe and suitable.
Turbine Reinvestment
Design Life me, Actual Life me
Design Lifetime, Actual Lifetime: The components of a wind turbine are typically designed to remain operational for twenty years. The design lifetime of a component compared to its actual lifetime means that a wind turbine can last far longer than originally planned. How long it will continue working depends on the quality of all of the turbine components and the local environmental conditions. Environment isn’t just the wind factors, like how much turbulence is experienced at the site, but also the air density, average humidity, even seismic factors.
An offshore turbine may last longer, simply due to the fact that with no obstacles to the wind there is lower turbulence at sea. This would in turn result in lower maintenance costs, but this would be balanced by the increased cost in accessing the turbine to carry out any maintenance.

Energy Output from a Wind Turbine:

Energy Output
The annual output of a wind turbine is
calculated based on the average wind
speed, the average air density, the rated 2.5 output of the generator and the length 2.0 of rotor blades. The graph shows how
annual energy production in million kilowatt
hours varies with the windiness of the site. When it 1.0
comes to choosing a site, the energy output can will be proportional to the average wind speed at the height of the turbine. For instance, a mean wind speed of 6.75 m/s would generate approximately 1.5 million kilowatt hours (kWh) of energy per year.
Energy output will vary roughly along the line of the cube of the wind speed. Exactly how sensitive the energy output of a turbine is to changes in wind speed varies with the wind probability distribution.

The Availability Factor: A wind turbine will need to be serviced and inspected every
six months so as to be sure that it is still in safe working order. Although servicing and inspection does not reduce total output by an appreciable amount, component failures or accidents (lightning strikes for instance) can disable wind turbines and leave them inactive for some time until repairs can be completed.
Availability Factor
Data shows that turbines from the best manufacturers will consistently meet 98% operational time. The effect on total energy output would be less than 2% of the total, as wind turbines would never be serviced during peak operating conditions (high winds).
Performance Based Operations: Manufacturers generally offer availability guarantees during warranty at 97 %. A well run wind farm with the right technology selection can achieve levels higher
Performance Based Opera ons
than this; 99 % is not unheard of. To achieve this requires a far closer and personal relationship between the Operations Manager and the wind turbine that a large remote monitoring facility cannot supply.
Each percentage point of availability translates into a significant higher revenue per annum. There is a growing trend towards performance based operations contracts with smaller local operators where the reward associated with increased performance and reliability is shared between the Windfarm Owner and the Operations Manager.
Wind turbine manufacturers are also starting to offer long term warranties up to 12 years or more, with all operations and maintenance bundled at a fixed price. This has the effect of taking all risk away from the owner, though at a cost premium. The growth of this offering is slow as individual manufacturers learn to understand the long term risks for the different regions that they operate in. Performance bonuses will eventually be seen as part of these offerings.

DIRECT DRIVE WIND TURBINE MARKET - GLOBAL TRENDS & FORECASTS
The direct drive (gearless) wind turbine is the low-speed generator turbine that eliminates the need
for a gearbox from the turbine’s drive train. These turbines have advantages such as - they are lighter than conventional turbines, these have significantly lower maintenance costs, and it eliminates gearbox replacement as they are gearless
The two types of direct drive generators currently in the market are Electrically Excited Synchronous Generator (EESG) and Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG). The most preferred direct drive wind turbine generator is the permanent magnet type generator, as it is lighter in weight and possesses high reliability for offshore applications.
Asia-Pacific has been identified as the largest market among all regional markets for direct drive wind turbines as well as forecast to be the fastest growing in the next five years. Europe is the second largest regional market after Asia-Pacific. In Asia-Pacific, China is the main growth contributor. Globally, China is also the largest country level market and thus its growth significantly affects the global market.
The direct drive or gearless wind turbine market can be segmented by turbine size (capacity range) i.e. turbines less than 1 MW, 1 MW - 3 MW, and more than 3 MW sizes. The turbine size ranging 1 MW - 3 MW has the highest market share.
Gearbox failure and supportive regulatory environment are believed to be the most important market drivers for gearless wind turbines. Off-shore potential has been identified as a major opportunity for direct drive wind turbine manufacturers.
