The growth in India has largely been result of a favourable

Wind power is widely recognised as the least cost renewable energy technology with an average
generation cost of $0.05- $0.06 / kWh. Analysis show that the levelized annual cost of wind power is
less than that of a new coal thermal power station. While the cost of energy from a thermal power
station is initially low, it continues to increase with increases in the cost of fuel. On the other hand,
the cost of wind energy is initially high and reduces as loans are repaid, as no variable cost is
involved.

If the cost of externalities of coal-based power generation and the hidden subsidies are factored in,
wind power is actually less expensive than coal. Therefore, it's not surprising that the wind power
industry has demonstrated sufficiently low risk to gain the attention of the financial community and
independent power developers for near-term projects.

Motorwind micro-wind turbine technology is based on the same high efficiency Horizontal Axis Wind
Turbine (HAWT) technology but it exists in a space distinct from large wind turbines as it is aimed at
distributed generation due to its unique ability to be installed virtually anywhere there is wind.
Centralised wind farm applications are also possible with Motorwind especially at sites that are
inaccessible for large wind turbines.

modules can in turn be installed in a system to generate as
much energy as required -- sometimes in MW scale -- limited only by the space available. For
example, one would require around 1428 modules of 700W each to make a 1 MW solar farm.

Similarly, a Motorwind set is made up of several

small polymer turbines -- each only 25 cm across
-- held together on a stainless steel frame,
connected with each other and with a generator attached at one end. Power generated from the set
is the sum of power captured by each turbine. A 20-turbine set, for example, generates 166W rated
at 10m/s. A module of six such sets would be rated at 1 kW (see photograph below of a Motorwind
installation in South Africa). Scaling the capacity to 1 MW would require 1000 such modules.

no damage to the modules. The use of simple components
ensures they can be maintained quite easily unlike traditional
large turbines which need to be serviced by expert technicians each time there is a problem.

Motorwind power generation turbines can be installed either as:

a) stand-alone system comprising of Motorwind module, battery bank, and inverter;
b) grid-connected system comprising of Motorwind module, grid-interfaced inverter; or,
c) hybrid of the two with grid-interface as well as some battery backup.

Insofar as impacts on the grid-connected power systems are concerned, it is an established fact
that addition of wind power results in reduction in technical losses and strengthening of voltage
levels.

Technology Innovation

Three aspects of innovation are inherent in the Motorwind solution:

Design and IP
The unique design of Motorwind turbines – several interconnected gears facing the wind -- hasn't
been seen in Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines before. It's a Motorwave Co. invention that is
completely patented. No competition exists in this space and any knock-off could be easily
demonstrated to be one since nothing like this existed in the past.

Modularity and scalability

Motorwind has brought the same flexibility and modularity that exists in solar PV to wind power
industry for the first time. Until now, developers of captive wind power plants were limited by
available turbine capacities but now they can opt for any size based on their requirement. This
modular nature also allows the turbines to be installed in sizes so small they weren't seen in wind
power before. Motorwind turbine capacities can range from a few watts to several Megawatts.

Efficiency
Small wind turbines have existed for a long time. However, they have
always been much less efficient than large turbines. Tests have shown
Motorwind turbines to be 40% efficient -- this is almost double the
efficiency of some small wind turbines and close to the efficiency of large
turbines.

Technology Validation
Motorwind has been developed in collaboration with Mechanical
Engineering department at Hong Kong University that has provided all
the support in testing different designs and collecting the data.

Product line-up
Motorwind turbines are available in several different configurations and
sizes depending upon wind resource availability, siting conditions and
special requirements. The complete product line-up of Motorwind
products include:

generated within a few months at the rated capacity. This is

substantially less compared to solar photovoltaic which has energy payback in the range of 3 to 7
years.

Building-integrated
Motorwind is the world’s first and only truly building-integrated wind turbine solution. Traditional
small wind turbines are rarely installed on rooftops as they generate too much load at one particular
point and because they require the roof to be dug up, which most build owners refuse to allow.
Motorwind turbines are ideal for flat roofs as they can be installed along the parapet thereby
distributing the load across the wall. No digging is required. There are several other ways in which
Motorwind can be integrated with a building if considered at the design stage itself.

Wind for the masses

By allowing people to generate electricity on rooftops, Motorwind brings wind power from wind
developers to ordinary people. It also makes wind power affordable -- substantial savings can be
made by installing Motorwind in a high wind resource site.

Net-metering
To enable expansion of distributed renewable energy in India, government has expressed its
willingness to begin net-metering. Motorwind installations will therefore allow individual households
to get even faster returns on their investment by eliminating the battery bank and feeding electricity

directly into the grid at an attractive feed-in tariff. ToD (Time of Day) tariff structure, when introduced
across the nation, will also suit wind power as studies in Maharashtra region of India show 70%
generation during peak demand slot.

Green branding
Motorwind is also attractive for corporates who wish to project their company as environmentally
responsible. Motorwind turbines can be a very visible tool in this regard as it can help project
company's efforts to reduce its carbon footprint. Green-building industry too can benefit from
Motorwind. In the LEED green building rating system for example, building owners gets extra points
for on-site electricity generation.

Advertising
A fantastic value addition of Motorwind installation is its ability to double as a sign-board or a
platform for advertising when different coloured turbines are used to create alphabets or shapes.
Motorwave Co. HK, does not charge extra for sign-board applications but retains all advertising
rights. For advertising applications, the advertising revenue is shared with the client. It also retains
all rights to carbon credits and renewable energy certificates.

Environment
Despite this humongous demand for electricity, worsening climate change requires that the world
must transition from fossil fuel based sources of energy to renewable energy within a span of few
decades. India's stand at UN negotiations on climate change framework has been to push for
developed countries to accept greater cuts to allow developing nations to grow. This is facing stiff
resistance from the developed world but regardless of what India is able to garner in the final deal at
Copenhagen in December 2009, the country remains committed to renewable energy in its National
Action Plan on Climate Change.

Energy independence
Less than one third of India's oil demand is fulfilled from sources within the country, rest all is
imported largely from gulf nations. This is widely regarded as a threat to our national security as the
nation can be held to ransom or brought to a standstill by countries that control oil production. Apart
from environmental concerns, security implications demand that India moves to non-fossil fuel
based energy sources such as solar and wind power.

Wind power potential
The country's wind power potential is estimated to be 48,000 MW according to government's Wind
Resource Assessment Programme. However, this estimate was made in early 1990's in only ten
states and is based on the wind power technology prevalent at that time. States that did not have
policies and mechanisms were not covered and even states that were included were not entirely
covered under the programme.

Industry experts estimate India's wind power potential to be above 100,000 MW. Out of this, only
about 9600 MW has been reaslised so far, leaving over 90 GW of wind capacity that is yet to be
exploited.

It's also worthy of mention that Motorwind has a distinct advantage to traditional large turbines in
terms of ease of installation in remote areas. Motorwind's large turbine with diameter from 2 - 5
metre can be disassembeled and taken to any location including those inaccessible by a motor able
road.

Remote Area Power Supply (RAPS)

Motorwind systems are therefore ideal for remote locations that cannot be fitted with electricity
distribution systems such as the Sundarban Islands. Another application could be to power energy
requirements of the Indian Army and allied forces’ remote stations such as those in the desert.

Currently this demand is met by expensive diesel generated electricity which must be first carried to
these locations. Similarly, grid-independent power requirements like cell phone towers can be
powered by Motorwind in high wind resource areas. Over 100,000 such towers are in existence all
over the country.
