Wouldn't you like to... • have 24 x 7 real-time turbine data for your entire fleet from anywhere in the world? • spend less time and money on maintenance visits? • get immediate warnings of critical turbine problems? • experience less down time? • get clear and informative reports and graphs of all turbine activity updated every few minutes? • gain full remote control over all aspects of wind turbines in your fleet? Are you a wind turbine manufacturer? Wouldn't you like to ... • have a complete Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system to offer with your turbines? • provide your customers a centralized management system with fleet -wide control and reporting features? • easily integrate a software and hardware solution that provides these capabilities into your turbine controller? Apterra Technologies delivers data you need to ensure accurate and effective wind farm management. Our software and systems architecture is of the highest quality and is based on trusted technologies for exceptional performance and reliability. Hawkeye Remote Terminal Unit The Hawkeye Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) is a full -featured monitoring unit that integrates with wind turbine controllers. It includes a web application that allows operators to view the turbine's current state while provid- ing full control of the turbine and the controller's run-time parameters. This application is accessible by web browsers, with no need for special browser plug -ins or configuration. The RTU captures system state and statistical averages in 10-minute intervals in a format suitable for spread- sheet or database import, delivering them electronically on a nightly basis. When used in conjunction with the Apterra Technologies Hub Server, this data is imported into a central database for analysis and reporting. The unit also delivers a daily summary offering a convenient snapshot of the previous day's system performance. A real-time event trap feature facilitates turbine troubleshooting. When the RTU detects an error condition, it creates a data file capturing the five minutes preceding and following each error event. It then sends an email report identifying the error and including the captured performance data for review.

Ted Schwartz founded Apterra Technologies in 2006, in response to the demand for after -market Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems easily integrated with a variety of turbine controllers. The company began by targeting unique market niches benefiting from remote turbine management, including the small wind industry and refurbished turbines, and has since broadened its scope to serve the larger wind turbine industry. Schwartz is a graduate of Yale University's School of Forestry and Environmental Studies. Before launching Apterra Technologies, he started his career as an environmental management consultant, performing work around the globe in Arthur D. Little's Environmental Management Practice. Schwartz began a second career in software development in 1996 and now combines his wide-ranging experience in software design and implementation with renewable energy management. Apterra delivered its first SCADA unit, the Hawkeye, in early 2007 and its fleet -wide Hub server in 2008. The company's systems are now deployed widely in the US, Canada and the United Kingdom.
