Key Customer Testimonial for Patented Pitch Energy Modules Investor Presentation | © Richardson Electronics, Ltd. 14 “If you were to ask any wind technician who works on electric pitch systems what the weak link is in the whole system, most would likely say it’s the pitch batteries. Even without looking at the data, any technician knows this, as the task of exchanging and testing battery packs has been a part of their routine for decades. At TransAlta, we were looking for a solution to this issue, as our data shows that pitch faults due to weak batteries is one of our leading causes of downtime and lost production on our GE platforms. In this search for a solution we met with Richardson Electronics who provided us with a plug and play solution with no modifications to our machines, allowing for an easy install. Richardson was very patient with us as we used caution moving into using their Ultra-caps. We chose to trial the Ultra-caps on several machines, at two sites, for a whole year before making the purchase. After that trial period, we can say that they have been an excellent upgrade, and we can’t wait to get these installed on the rest of the fleet. We have confidence in the product after our trial period and we have many great reviews from other wind companies that made the switch 2- 3 years ago and haven’t looked back. Switching to Ultra-caps is going to reduce the number of hub entries & climbs our technicians need to make in a day and we all know that the weather doesn’t always cooperate when we need to get into a hub. Ultra-caps are the solution to reducing lost production, freeing up man-power for more important tasks, and increasing revenue for many years to come.” Dan Layton, Supervisor Soderglen & Lakeswind LTSA, TransAlta Corporation, one of Canada’s largest producers of wind generation
