Description of Project. - This project provides for the installation of eighteen Eategrity E-W-15 wind generators in Nome, Alaska, This is the first cornnierciai wind farm to be installed in the city of isiome which enrrently gets 100% of its power from diesel generation. Nome is a rural community with approximately 3500 residents and is a hub community which supports many villages in the region. The installation of this wind power project will provide a rated 900 M of power- with a maximum output of 1,170 M to the Noind Joint Utility electric grid over a 20 year extendable project timcframe. las Lead of selling the energy at the avoided cost rate allowed by law, the owners of the project have committed to selling the. energy at a fixed or floating price below the avoided coast calculation. The revenues frorn the wind farm will be, shared equally between Sitnasuak Native. Corporation (SNC) and Bering Straits Native Corporation (13SNC). BSNC has further agreed to dedicate 5017a of its profits from this project to development of rouewable energy projects in the villages around Nome. Selling the energy at a rate below avoided costs will provide savings to the utility to Help to lower the energy costs in the Nome area and provide some energy produced locally that is not dependent on imported oil. If oil prices continue to rise drarnatically as they have been, that savings could be significantly higher than currently projected. Providing for renewable energy Projects in villages Should help reduce the dependency on oil in those locations where oil must he flown or barged in �tnd ultimately help reduce energy rates in those, locations. The profits from tare project which are ultimately distributed to the shareholders of BSNC and SNC will help provide income to an area where. many have very limited incomes.

Besides expanding renewable energy resource programs, the order" intends t(r "promote aggressive- development of renewable energy sources such as geothe-rnlal, wind, hydroelectric, tidal, and in - stream energy." Furthermore, the governor "is Signing n letter Lllrlt acids Alaska as ail observer to the Western Climate Initiative." Alaska can demonstrate that wiled power generation Ilelps achieve the objectives of the initiative. Alaska Energy Authority Wssi6n: Reduce the oW. of evwavgy its Alaska Alaska Energy Authority (AEA) projects and programs support its mission by 1) providing for the operation and maintenance of existing Authority -owned projects with maximum utility control, 2) assisting in the development of safe, reliable, and efficient energy systems throughout Alaska, which are sustainable and environmentally sound, 8) reducing the cost of electricity for residential customers and community facilities in rural Alaska, and 4) responding quickly and effectively to electrical emergencies. This wind farm will sell energy below the actual avoided cost arid clearly in its own way reduce onergy costs and provide for further development while keeping energy dollars in the colnnaunity by utilizing a local renewable wind resource. e.

About the Owners Bering Straits Native Corporation (BSNC) and Sitnasuak Native Corporation SNC are for -profit Alaska Native Corporations established by Congress in 1971 as part of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. BSNC and SNC together represent over 6,000 shareholders (and also serve over 10,000 descendants of shareholders), all of which are Alaska Natives. BSNC feels a responsibility for its shareholders and their descendants as is evidenced by the mission statement "To improve the quality of life of our people through economic development while protecting our land and preserving our cultural heritage". SNC's Statement of Purpose reads "To earn profits on operations, while protecting our land and culture and benefiting shareholders", Board Resolutions This project has been authorized and is fully supported by the corporations. 4e Community: Nome: Target City Nome is a 1st class City located on the south shore of Alaska's highly mineralized Seward Peninsula, 500 miles west of Fairbanks and approximately 510 miles northwest of Anchorage. Nome lies at approximately 64.25 North Latitude and 165.30 West Longitude, 102 miles south of the Arctic Circle and 161 miles east of Russia. Nome, as the center or "hub" of the Bering Straits/Seward Peninsula region, provides retail, transportation, medical and government services to the surrounding villages as well as city residents. As a "hub" community, all trans -shipment of goods to the region either arrive via air -freight or seasonal main -lime barge service from Anchorage and Seattle, WA. There is no road access to Nome or the villages in the Census area. Nome's population is 3,505 (2000 census), while the regional village based population is estimated at 11,300, Income USDA's Economic Research Service lists the Nome Census Area's unemployment rate at 12.1 % with a median household income (2004) of $40,010 at 763% of the State Median Household Income. However, these numbers are misleading as the State of Alaska's Department of Labor reported "of the 5,765 reported residents age 16 and up, 63.7% percent were employed in 2003. However, of that number, 3,255 or 75.5% earned less than average annual wage of $36,700 and 2,058 or 47,7% earned less than full time minimum wage of $14,872". (State of .Alaska, Department of Labor and Workforce Development, Research and Analysis Section publication "Alaska Economic Trends, June 200511 , "Employment and Earnings Measures of Economic Distress"). Then in a more recent "Alaska Economic Trends — July 2006" noted the "Cost of Food at Horne for a Week in Eight Alaska Cities", cited the 2005 food cost for a family of four with children ages 6 to I 1 was $199.09 per week and 164% of Anchorage. 'These same groceries can be purchased in Portland, Oregon for $94.00. Cost of Harnessing the Wind in Nome Alaska food as well as all other consumer products are driven by the high cost of energy, affecting transportation, heating, lighting, cooling etc. Freight companies also add a substantial fuel surcharge to their base rates. Energy Costs The high cost of energy continues to have a negative impact on homes and businesses. Nome is dependent on fuel oil for both home heating and electrical generation. Nome Joint Utility Systems, Nome's electrical provider, supplies electricity to 2,160 consumers. Their base per Idlowatt rate for residential customers is $.1775/kwh for usage between 200 and 700 kWh per month; however, there is also a fuel surcharge to adjust for the annual fuel cost increases. These fuel surcharges began in 2004 with a surcharge of $.0283, $.0752 in '05 and $.1354 in '06. With the surcharge of $.1354 added to the $.1775 base rate, 2006 per Kilowatt rates were $.3129 plus a $5.00 base service charge and the 5% city of Nome Sales Tax. Nome's two retail fuel suppliers, Bonanza Fuel and Crowley Services report current home heating fuel costs at $3.89/ gallon and $3.99/gallon respectively during the winter of 2007/2008. The average annual fuel oil expense per household in 2006 was $3,209,00. These high hor-ne heating fuel costs are felt monthly as essentially every day is a "heating degree day". Nome has 9,987 "heating degree days", with a high of 1,398 in January and a low of 146 in July (NASA Surface Meteorology and Solar Energy — Available Tables). The University of Alaska — Anchorage Institute of Economic and Social Research (ISER) December 2005 Research Summary states "Diesel is the main energy source in remote communities, and in 2004 diesel outside the rail belt cost about five times as much per unit of energy as natural gas. Community facilities such as electrical plants, water and sewer services and health clinics use diesel fuel." From 1996 to 2006, annual average wholesale and retail princes for heating oil has increased by 187% and 139% respectively, after adjusting for inflation (U.S. Department of Energy, Energy Information Administration, 2007). The State of Alaska, Division of Community Advocacy, Research and Analysis Section, Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development just completed a report "Current Community Conditions: Fuel Prices Across Alaska, June 2007 Update" which noted on page 2 that "On July 30, 2007, the price of a barrel of Alaska crude oil reached near record highs of $78.58, a remarkable 152% increase over the 1997-2006 average price of $31.15" "Of noteworthy importance, as the State's oil revenues climb, Alaskans continue paying record high energy prices, especially in rural communities". September 20th set a new high for Alaska crude at $82.82 per barrel. The study also noted that western Alaska reported the highest average heating fuel retail price at $4.73 per gallon. In the reports Conclusion, it was noted that "Significantly increased fuel and energy costs combined with high unemployment rates, limited local economies, and local governments struggling to provide basic local services continue to present rural Alaska communities and households with challenging circumstances with no long-term solution in sight". In 2006, the Nome Chamber of Commerce in concert with the City of Nome began researching options to replace diesel as our primary energy source. An Energy Summit was held that looked at the options including.natural gas, geothermal, wind, solar, hydrogen and nuclear energy. Nome's Mayor Denise Michels noted at the same Energy Summit that "the City of Nome has made it a priority to deal with local and regional energy issues". Harnessing the Wind in Noire Alaska 7 In January of 2005, the U.S. Department of the Interior completed a paper called the "Engineering and Economic Analysis of Natural Gas Production in the Dorton B asin' (http://rruns.gov/alaskareNatural_gasNorton.pfd). This study noted that although there is an estimated 18.20 BCF (billion cubic feet) of natural gas located within 30 miles of Nome, it would cost an estimmated $100 million to develop it. The Pilgrim Hot Springs geothermal resource was estimated to cost $40 million for a 20 MW binary plant. It was estimated that it would cost an additional $20 million to tie the plant into the Nome grid. The abundance and quality of wind (Nome's Class 4-wind resource) became Nome's most cost effective way to address our energy needs. 5. Coordination with State Rural Development Initiatives This project ties in directly and supports several key issues with the State Goals. Furthermore, the project is very timely in that it lines up with the nrw Administrative Order 238 signed by Governor Patin in Alaska on September 14, 2007. Besides expanding renewable energy resource programs, the order intends to "promote aggressive development of renewable energy sources such as geothermal, wind, hydroelectric, tidal, and in -- stream energy." Furthermore, the governor "is signing a letter that adds Alaska as an observer to the Western Climate Initiative." Generating clean renewable energy from local wind instead of using imported fuels helps the economy and the environment, The irony is though Alaska exports oil, it must import fuel from refineries in the south. On February 23, 2006 the Bering Straits Native Corporation's Board of Directors passed a Resolution that asked the Department of Energy and the Congress of the United States provide funding for the Tribal Energy Program, more specifically for Native -owned lands in Alaska, on a basis that it reflects the geographic area and energy potential of said lands. The exploration and development of these alternative and renewablc resources would benefit not only the rural residents of Alaska, but would assist in securing domestic non-renewable and renewable energy for the greater good of the people of the United States. Alaska Energy Authority Missions Reduce the cost of Energy in Alaska Alaska Energy Authority (AEA) projects and programs support its mission by 1) providing for the operation and maintenance of existing Authority -owned projects with maximum utility control, 2) assisting in the development of safe, reliable, and efficient energy systems throughout Alaska, which are sustainable and environmentally sound, 3) reducing the cost of electricity for residential customers and community facilities in rural Alaska., and 4) responding quickly and effectively to electrical emergencies. This wind farm will sell energy below the actual avoided cost and clearly in its own way reduce energy costs and provide for further development while keeping energy dollars in the community by utilizing a local renewable wind resource. 6. Project Overview This project is completely ready to move forward from a design, technical, and feasibility perspective. With a timely notice to proceed, these turbines will be on one of the early barge shipments to Nome in the spring of 2008. The goal of the project team is to move ahead with excitement and enthusiasm to build this project in the most efficient manner. Harnessing the Wind in Nome Alaska 8 6a. Project Design This project is a very simple, easy to install design. The turbines are available and the equipment for installation is alz-eady available in Nome. The entire project can be installed and on-line by mid summer 2008. The attached engineering evaluation and summary shows the expected results and performance of the project. Extra expense and time is involved with arctic construction. The good news for this project is it is not inventing a new solution, but implementing a tried and proved method and system. PROJECT ENGINEERING FEASAEiLffY STUDY BY RENAISSANCE ENGINEERING & DESIGN The following key sections 6a1, fiat, 60, and 6a4 are pant of an overall evaluation by Brian D. lack -son (credentials included its Section 6b Management, He states that "This project is completely feasible from a technical and a financial standpoint as a true generation project to contribute meaningful, reliable, renewable, electric energy to the Nome Joint Utility Distribution Grid." The most important thing to note on the design is that nothing here is "revolutionary" or "experimental". The system is benefiting from the past ten years of experimenting that has gone on in Kotzebue, Alaska, The Nome Project is benefiting from all of the lessons Iearned in previous projects and is drawing on the expertise of individuals that were involved with wind projects like this one and even specific to the Entegrity model proposed. Note the exhibits under Tab 6c Regulatory apply specifically to this design section in addition. They show the utility requirements as well as some aspects of the Kotzebue installation where over a 1,000 kW of wind is operational. 6a1. Financial Performance Analysis The attached business model spreadsheet is fairly complex but in a single page represents the operation of this commercial wind business venture over the next 20 years. Over the 20 year life of the project on this sheet, the turbines produce $18M of energy assuming only a 3% inflation rate on the current avoided cost calculation of 23 cents per kWh. (Note that the turbines come with a 5 year warranty and Entegrity specifically states in the specifications that the turbine has a 30 year design life.) The fourth sheet shoves the avoided cost calculations and the effect of the up to five cents per kWh discount that Bering Straits has been discussing with Nome Joint Utility. The budget which drives the capital cost of this project is included here for reference but discussed in greater detail in Section 7. Note that the discount provided to the utility results in a $2.9 million savings over 20 years to Nome Joint Utility which can be transferred on the customers. Also this shows about $10 million being divided among Sitnasuak and Bering Straits and then distributed to the villages and/or shareholders as appropriate. Of particular note in addition in the energy capacity analysis chart the substantial boost in wind energy comes at a time when winter is setting in, particularly October, November, and December which also coincides with extra need for heating oil.

Much of the Anvil Mountahi data had significant icing in it, and was collected and patched by others using airport and other wind data. When comparing actual data to a Rayleigh distribution with the same annual average wind speed, the energy production estimates are very close as seen in the analysis summaries. Using tl- s finding, two more production estimates were performed with Rayleigh distributions and annual average wind speeds closer to the wind classes shown on the Alaska wind reaps for the Nome area. The wind classes shown in the area are Class 4 and 5, and therefore additional energy projections were performed using 15.0 and 16.0 mph annual average wired speeds at 30 meters above ground level. What this means in a summary form is that the financial projections based on a 30% capacity factor are EXTREMELY conservative. At the same time we have included a 95% availability indicating that we expect the turbines to be off-line about 5% of the time due to maintenance or other problems. We know that Tin City which is located at the western point above Kotzebue on the attached wind map exhibits is a CLASS 7 wind resource. Modeling of turbines at that site results in over 50% capacity factor with any turbine at any height tower.

This resource map shows wind speed estimates at 50 meters above the ground and depicts the resource that could be used for utility -scale wind development. wind resource at 50 meters. Future plans are to provide wind speed estimates at 30 meters, which are useful for identifying small wind turbine opportunities. As a renewable resource, wind is classified according to wind power classes, which are based on typical wind speeds. These classes range from Class 1 (the lowest) to Class 7 (tile highest). In general, at 50 meters, wind power Class 4 or higher can be useful for generating wind power with large turbines. Class 4 and above are considered good resources. Particular locations in the Class 3 areas could have higher wind power class values at 80 meters than shown on the 50 meter map because of possible high wind shear. Givers the advances in technology, a number of locations in the Class 3 areas may suitable for utility -scale wind development. This map indicates that mainland Alaska has wind resources consistent with utility -scale production. The largest contiguous low elevation area of good -to -excellent resource is located in the western part of the state between Bethel and the Yukon River Delta. Coastal locations along the Bering Sea and the Arctic Ocean are likely to have goad -to -excellent resource. Excellent wind resources are located on higher ridge crests crest locations throughout mainland Alaska including the Brooks and Alaska Ranges and the Chugach Mountains. h-Ltp: /lwww. eere.energy.gov/windandhydro/windpowerincameri ca /ractps t_emplate.asp?state.ab=ak - a° 1640 16W 1 %und� .

AOC based its design on the Enertech E44 series wind turbines, of which approximately 750 were built between 1982 and 1986. They were installed in wind power stations throughout the United States, as well as in several other countries. Most are still in operation today. AOC evaluated the historic performance of a significant number of E44 series wind turbines, identifying problem areas and ranking them according to their impact on 'turbine downtime. Specific downtime related issues were then targeted and solutions proposed. The impact of the various solutions was then evaluated on an economic and risk basis to further define the benefits of each improvement. Resulting from this analysis, AOC developed a preliminary design for a 50 kW wind turbine - the AOC 15/50. The results obtained were so encouraging that the final design and prototyping of the AOC 15/50 were initiated under separate NREL contracts. The Dutch National Laboratory for Renewable Energy (ECN) performed an independent reliability analysis concluding that the AOC 15/50's design was sound. After an extensive review and analysis of the operating histories of existing wind turbines, AOC's design team incorporated many design features in the AOC 15/50 to enhance its energy production. These features included: -4 Advanced modified NREL thick airfoils -k Electromagnet controlled tip brakes -- Single piece hub casting Innovative slip ring to transfer power to the tip brakes Integrated gearbox with improved internal components Totally -enclosed generator Single piece cast tower top with larger yaw bearings Uniformly tapered galvanized lattice tower -� Advanced controls based upon a microprocessor controller Ethernet communication module for remote monitoring In September 2004, Entegrity Wind Systems Inc, (EWSI) assumed the assets of Atlantic Orient Corporation and officially changed the machine name to the EW15 from the AOC 15/50. The remainder of this information package will refer to the company as EWSI and will be updated soon to reflect the change of name of the machine in the foundation and tower load drawings_ All information on the wind turbine is current.

The 'designation 15 refers to the turbine's 15 m diameter rotor and its rated output of 50 M. The rated output is reached at wind speeds of 12 m/s (26.8 mph) for the 50 Hz WTG and 11.3 m/s (25.3 mph) for 60 Hz WTG. As shown in the power curve in Figure 1-2, the wind turbine is designed to cut in at 4.6 m/s (10.2 mph). The turbine is stall regulated and at about 15 m/s reaches its peak output of 55 M for the 50 Hz WTG and 66 kW for the 60 Hz WTG. Assuming 100% availability and average wind speed of 6.7 mis (15mph), it is calculated to produce 145,000 kWh/year for the 50 Hz WTG and 153,000 kWh/year for the 60 Hz WTIG. Figure 1-3 illustrates the projected net annual energy production as a function of average annual wind speed.

The EW15 has been designed as a robust, economical, low -maintenance wind trrrbine to be utilized in extreme environments. The tower top casting provides a rigid, low cost interface between the gearbox and the tower. The low speed shaft has a sufficiently large diameter and the necessary material strength to accommodate the structural and fatigue loads encountered during operation. The hub consists of a single piece casting for design simplicity. See Figure 1-4 Figure 1-4 EW15 Drive Train Assembly A more detailed view of the turbine assembly is provided in Figure 1-5. The design team aimed for design simplicity. The heart of the design is the integrated gearbox consisting of a single piece, cast housing. The generator is flange -mounted to the planetary gearbox with the enclosed parking brake directly coupled to the totally enclosed generator. There is no nacelle.

The wind turbine is designed for rated output of 501cW and can be operated at higher power- level's under favonrabie conditions. The electrical generator has a rated capacity of 66kW/60 HZ (55 kW/50HZ). The EW 15 uses a three bladed stall re;ulated rotor that drives an induction generator through a two stage planetary gearbox. The generator is connected directly to an electric system into which it will supply electric power when driven by the wind. The system is shut down by deployment of aerodynamic brakes on the tip of the blades and stopped by a parldng brake that is applied when the rotor is slowed by the aerodynamic brakes. The wind turbine is mounted on an 80 or 100 foot galvanized steel lattice tower. It is necessary to climb the tower for general service and maintenance. Skilled and certified persons having fall protection training are required to perform this function on a scheduled and occasional basis. The wind turbine is controlled by a computer based control system located in an enclosure near the base of the tower. The control system also provides electrical protection to mutually prevent damage by faults on the utility or wind turbine system. The wind turbine requires relatively little maintenance and service and is designed for a thirty year life expectance. The machine should however be regularly serviced and inspected to ensure that minor events and conditions do not grow to larger and more serious problems. The information and instructions that follow in this document are intended to provide operators and service personnel with the information necessary to properly operate and inaintain the wind turbine. This version of the manual is provisional and has been composed to reflect many recent changes and revision. Please contact EWSI to report and con2ment on discrepancies and errors you may find so we may make. improvements. Entegrity Wind Systems Inc. P.O. Box 832 Charlottetown.

Box 832 �_,_ntegrzty Charlottetown, PE r CIA 7L,9T Wind Systems Inc Tel: (920) 368-7171 Fax: (902) 368-7139 E-mail: I€ t i•i va n �.e a n Revised March 2006 OPERATIONAL STI A fl EGY: The EW15 uses a relatively simple operational strategy to convert the kinetic power or energy of the wind to useful electrical power and energy. A few basic principals and facts of physics and electrical theory nnuist be understood by the reader to fully grasp the information being described in the following description of the method of operation and control of the EW15 wind Turbine. General: The Ewl 5 wind turbine uses the principal if induction or asynchronous generation to enable production of electrical power while connected to a three phase electrical source. By this method the EW 15 is able to utilize what is basically a simple three phase squirrel cage induction motor which, when caused to rotate at a speed higher than the synchronous speed or frequency of the grid, will produce power proportional to the difference in speed between tine EW 15 generator and the generators that supply the grid. The difference in speed varies from about zero (0) to eighty (80) rpm above the fixed 1800 rpm of the grid generators. The EW 15 generator requires that three please grid voltage at the proper level be supplied by the grid and will not generate power or voltage unless this condition is met. The EW15 control system is designed specifically for the voltage level being used at the site or location of the wind turbine. The EW15 generator under certain conditions can be operated as a motor for testing or for special operational reasons. The frequency, voltage and related harmonics of the electricity produced are all established by the electric grid to which the wind turbine is connected. Principal Components: The principal components of the EW 15 are. Tower: A simple galvanized steel lattice structure to support the wind turbine at a height of 80 ft. or 100 it. above ground. The tower incorporates a climbing safety device and ladder pegs to enable access to tine tower top Tower Toll: The lower part of the wind turbine which contains a cable tension hanging apparatus to support power and control cables which extend to ground level and a circular turntable bearing which supports the main turbine components and allows the wind turbine to align passively with the wind direction such that the wind turbine blades are down wind of the tower. A device for locIdnIMP g the yaw actionis provided under the tower top. Drive train: The drive train is the combination of a generator, a gearbox, a parlfiiig brake, a rotor hub and three rotor blades with aerodynamic brakes at the tips. Control System: The control system consists of a PLC (programmable logic controller or computer ndcroprocessor) which allows automatic operation and electrical and mechanical protection of the wind turbine. The controller provides for human control and adjustmerit of the wind turbine operating condition and operational parameters. It is intended for use by technically trained and knowledgeable persons. The wind tuubine and control systems are designed fail safe to avoid possible damage to the wind turbine by accident, failx.nre of a component or improper use. Drive Train Components-, Rotor blades: The rotor blades are specially designed and shaped fiberglass composite structures which efficiently capture the energy of the wind to drive the low speed shaft of the gearbox. The blades and drive train are designed. to operate at nearly constant speed and to passively regulate the maximum power which may be produced over the 5m/s - 25 m/s rated wind speed range for the wind turbine. The blades are designed to stall aerodynamically at higher wind speeds to Einit power and rotor speed. The blades produce very little torque when not rotating at operational speed but do provide sufficient torque to cause initial rotation to begin oper4tiorn from the stopped condition and to accelerate the wind turbine to operational speed. The range of rotational speed of the blades is from 63 to 65 rpm. Gearbox: The EW 15 gearbox is a two stage planetary gearbox with a ratio of 25.5, which increases the rotation of the driven shaft to drive the generator. The generator speed ranges froin 1800 to about 1875 rpm. At about 1850 rprn the generator will develop about 66yW of electrical power which is injected into the electric grid. Generator: The generator is a three phase squirrel cage induction motor (generator) which is driven directly by the gearbox. The generator is connected by three wires that run down the tower to an electrical junction box at the bottom of the tower and then to the control system. Braying system: The CW15 braying system consists of aerodytwnic btalces at the tip of the blades and a disc brake on the rear end of the generator shaft. Tip Brakes: The tip brakes are aerodynamic drag pw-iels at the tip of each blade, which are controlled by the control system. When held closed by an electromagnet they are in operating, position and present very little braking effort to rotation of the blades. When released by the control system to shut the machine down the tip brakes present a highex aerodynamic farce than can be produced by the blades and will cause the rotor to show. The generator is always disconnected from the grid before the tip brakes are released or deployed. The tip brakes are returned by a spring to the closed position when the rotor is parked. Low voltage electric power to energize the tip brake holding electro-magnets is supplied through slip rings located between the gearbox and rotor hub. Parking Brake; The parking brake is a self adjusting disc brave used to hold the wind turbine in the parked or stopped condition, The braise is not applied while the wild turbine is at operating speed. The brake is electrically operated and held in the braked position by a strong sprung. It is released for operation by an electrical control signal from the controller. The brake is applied to park the machine only after a time delay, which allows the rotor to slow to about 12 rpm. This reduces the wear and tear on the parking brake discs. Wind Turbine Sensors There are several sensors, which measure parameters and operation conditions to enable control and protection of the word turbine while parked and while operating. _ Anemometers. Two anemometers located on the tower just below the rotor blades are used to measure the operating wind speed. The wind speech values are used to provide a wind sped indication to the controller and to cause release of the parking brake and holding of the tip brake which will enable possible start up of the wind turbine. There are two anemometers. The highest measured value from the anemometers is chosen by the control system for control. This eliminates the effect of one anemometer being behind the tower and the circtunstance where one anemometer may be out of service because of damage. The failure of one anemometer, or a higher than usual difference in indication will cause an alarm to be set but not a shut down or failure to operate. Rotor Speed Sensors: Two RPM sensors are located on the generator shaft. One is calibrated to measure from zero (0) to 2000 RPM and the other from. 1700 to 2000 RPM. The 0 — 2000 RPM is used for coarse speech indication and the 1700 — 2000 RPM is used for actual control of the wind turbine. The reason for two sensors is also to provide protection against failure of one sensor and possible erroneous speed indication. The speed sensors and RPM value is the most important variable and parameter for control of the wind turbine. Failtare of a speed sensor will prevent operation of the wind turbine. Grid Monitor: A grid voltage and phase sensing relay is installed in the controller to sense improper grid conditions and prevent operation of the wind turbine if grid conditions are not proper. Parking Brake Current Sensor, A current sensing device is installed in the controller that measures ctmnt to the parking brake. If the indication is that the current is not present the wind turbine will not operate. Normal Operation: The normal operation secln.nence for the wind turbine is as follows: This description assumes that the wind turbine is parked in low wields and no Faults are present which will prevent the wind turbine from operating. If faults are present they can be cleared by reset fi-om the STATUS screen. If they cannot be cleared repairs are necessary by a trained and skilled service person. 1, When the wind speed increases above the CUT -IN setting the parking brake and tip brakes will be actuated to allow rotation of the wind tuubine rotor under the influence of the wind. The wind turbine will begin to rotate and accelerate up to operating speed. The acceleration time will depend on actual wind speed and temperature. Cold temperatures slow acceleration. Very cold temperatures may prevent acceleration. In this condition there is a Forced Start option that will force start the wind turbine. 2. When the generator reaches 1800 RPM the wind turbine will connect to the grid and generate, 3. If the generator speed falls below the low generator speed set point because of low wind speed the wind turbine will shut; down or coast dependin-Ig on whether the COAST fiuretion has been selected. 4. If the wind turbine is in COAST mode and the: wind speed falls below the low wind speed cut out the brakes will be applied and the wind turbine will shut down. 5. If the generator speed increases above the set points for over -power or over - speed, the wind turbine will shut down. The wind turbine will automatically restart after these faults. 6. If the generator speed increase above the emergency generator speed the wind turbine will shut down and not restart unless manually reset. This is to prevent possible serious conditions that night cause damage if operated. A trained and skilled person should investigate the cause of the over -speed_ 7. If any fault of the grid, parking brake or speed sensors is detected the wind turbine will shut down. Users of this manual will find that not all possible combination s of possible events, reactions and faults of the wind turbine when operating have been anticipated or described.

Utility interconnection Preliminary Design This sketch is a preliminary ONE -LINE Electrical Diagran3 which shows how simple the installation of 14 turbines can be on a distribution line. The layout is subject to final engineering calculations, but the plan is to copy the utility distribution line azrangerneiat from the point of interconnection and simply run out to six separate transformers. Each transformer is sized to accommodate three turbines and an enclosure will be provided for the turbine switches and controls. The turbines will be arranged in a line and in the future more turbines could be added to the end of the line for project expansion.

Our office provides regional support for Wind Powering America, supports the Idaho Wind Working Group, and regional anemometer loan programs. We also provide support to surrounding states, and have done work throughout Alaska in support of several US Air Force and other wind and energy projects. I have been briefed on your proposed wind power project to install approximately ten 50 KW Entegrity wind turbines on 100 foot towers, and connect to nearby electrical distribution at 25 kV. We are familiar with the location of the project and have some knowledge of wind resource in the area. INL would like to voice our support of the proposed wind project in Nome, Alaska. INL has been involved with wind energy in Alaska for several years now, doing wind data collection and analysis, feasibility studies, and conceptual design work for the Air Force at several remote military installations. This work has led to the current plans to install 250 KW of wind power at an Air Force installation near Tin City. We have studied wind resources in other areas of the Western coast of Alaska including sites in Cape Ramanzof, Cape I.isbunle, Gape Newenham and others. Our work in Alaska has also included support for reduction of issues with wind and radar interaction on the Fire Island wind project near Anchorage. Having been involved in several wind -diesel hybrid power system studies, designs, and implementations over the years, INL is keen on seeing wind power installed in areas such as yours. Wind energy just wakes sense on many levels when there is a reasonable wind resource co -located with high fuel use and cost associated with electric generation from diesel generators. We believe from our work and the work of others that the wind resource in the Nome area is gpod enough to make a significant impact on fucL savings and reduction of electricity costs, not to rmeiltiou all of the other economic, quality of life, and environmental benefits that wind power can bring to Alaska. We, also support the idea of using the Entegrity 50 KW wind turbines for this project. They have been deployed on several projects throughout Alaska and have been proven to operate well in that environment over time. This wind turbine is small enough to make the remote installation aspects much easier to deal with, and for these types of applications it is nice to have multiple units for reliability reasons as opposed to a single, larger wind turbine.

We have worked with the Alaska Energy Authority to measure wind resources and map the wind resources for most of Alaska in a cooperative attempt to help appropriately implement -wind systems to augment diesel in rural villages. We are particularly interested in working with hub communities, which have the capacity to demonstrate effective wind -diesel systems, train operators and service personnel, maintain a span parts inventory, and provide operation and maintenance support capability for the more remote communities. This project proposed for home Alaska looks life an interesting step in this direction and we would loop forward to assisting with the systems analysis portion of the project, as part of our technical assistance to the State of Alaska, one of our priority Wind Dowering America program states. We do feel that it is very important to ensure that all parties, including the local utility, are well informed and actively participate in all phases of the project. It is particularly important to assure a sustainable approach to the operations and maintenance of the system through training and developing local capacity. Because we Have not had the opportunity to study the specifics of this proposal in any detail, this is not an endorsement of its technical, economical, or institutional soundness, rather an expression of interest in it conceptually and the potential that wind technologies could play a role in reducing the communities dependence can high cost, imported diesel fuel. We look forward to a successful collaboration.

Dirertor September 29, 2007 Jerald Brown Vice President Bering Straits Native Corporation - PO Box 1008 Nome, Alaska 99762 jbrown@.beringstraits.com RE: Bering Straits Native Corporation wind project proposal to the U.S. Department of Agriculture High Energy Cost Program Dear Mr. Brown, {: I would like to lend my vote of support for this project in Nome. The state of Idaho is almost in as bad a shape as rural Alaska in terms of the percent of energy it imports. For Nome, it is obviously 100% but in Idaho it is still 80%. Fortunately for Idaho, the imported electricity is from coal at relatively low cost. Trade is good if you can't provide that commodity or resource better locally. In Nome's case, it has a great wind resource and it can provide much of its own electricity with this resource more efficiently than importing oil. I worked in Nome for the Alaska Gold Company for several summers in the late 1970s and early 1980s. At that time the company thought it would reduce its operating cost by switching to oil- fired turbines instead of the old piston diesel engine generator sets it had used for decades. It's :reasoning was that the maintenance costs would be much lower. But there was a fuel -efficiency difference, probably 35% for the diesel engines and only 20% for the turbines. In two years the company could see the costs of fuel were killing it. It switched back to the diesel generators. The same case applies to Nome's overall power generation now. Wind can reduce overall costs while reducing the export of fuel dollars. For several reasons the choice of Entegrity turbines is a good one. First, the company has much experience with installations in arctic conditions. There are already several of these turbines in Kotzebue. The incremental size of the Entegrity (501cW) is good for a relatively small grid (2 MW average load,10 MW peak). This size also gives a great deal of flexibility to project expansion compared to 2.5 MW turbines, for example. Equipment for installation already exists in Nome, whereas it would be very difficult to get the size of cranes needed for installation of larger turbines into Nome. While it is true that in the lower 4$ with larger electric grids and access to specialized equipment, larger turbines would come in at lower costs than Entegrity turbines, these are not the circumstances in Nome. The choice of Entegrity turbines for the first phase of what will likely be far more installation of wind is brilliant. Nome has one of the larger micro -grids in rural Alaska, making it an excellent demonstration site for wind integration. Still, the 50 kW size of the Entegrity makes it ideal demonstration for wind additions to much smaller grids. Brian Jackson of Renaissance Engineering and Design has worked with me over several years to build a wind industry in Idaho. Idaho now has 75 MW of installed wind capacity. He and his company have extensive experience in all aspects of wind project development, from site selection to project completion. He was the primary project engineer for the two-Entegrity turbine Idaho Synthetic Energy, Inc. hydrogen production project about 20 miles southeast of Boise, which has been operating well for over a year. This proposal looks great to me. It addresses several of the issues dealing with the selection. of larger turbines that could have stalled another project in mid -stream. I think the likelihood of success with this project is very high and I encourage the funding agency to support it. A success integrating wind into a rural Alaska micro -grid at this time of looming approach of global peak oil production, cannot help but make everyone involved look very good. Sincerely, 1".. - qme'v��� Gerald Fleischman, P.E., MBA Engineer, Technical 1, Wind and Geothermal Power Development Energy Division Project Management Tlris project tealn is completely experienced iii the implementation of evezy aspect of this project. Not only in a general sense, but in the specific uxstallation of this exact turbine model and in the climate and harsh conditions that can affect Nome. Additionally, Kotzebue Electric Association has been very helpful in sharing information that helps develop a detailed solution for the connection to the Nome Joint Utility system. The project will be managed through contractual arrangements as indicated. Preliminary verbal cost estimates and quotes have been negotiated and will be finalized upon notice to proceed. Each entity listed has specifically committed the appropriate time and resources to make this project a priority next year. This project starts saving Nome money the minute it is onlilne. Note that Eagle Electric is an affiliated entity (completely owned by Bering Straits). The contract will be managed, however, as if the relationship does not exist on a competitive procurement basis, Resumes Brian Jackson - Renaissance -- Project Engineer Jerald Brown - Bering Straits Native Corp Financial Accounting Mitch Erickson - Local Manager - Data Collection and Reporting Matt Bergan - Experience Installing, Operating, Maintaining Entegrity 'Turbines Eagle Electric -- Electrical and General Contracting Idaho Tower Company - Experienced Tower Erection Crew Harnessing the Wind in Nome Alaska 14 "ARNESSING THE WIND IN NOME ALASKA 10 ENTEGRITYWIND T'URONES 500 KW RATED 650 IOW MAXIMUM OUTPUT raffiRVALMAJA yj§4 ,SITNASAUK NATIVE CORD LANDOWNER SHARE OF REVENUIES BERING STRAIES NATIVE CORP TURBINE OWNER - PROJECT OWNER JERALD BROWN, VP -GRANT ADMINISTRATION -CONTRACT MANAGEMENT -MAIN CONTRACTING ACCOUNTING - CONTRIBUTES >t 0% OF PROJECT -DEDICATES 50%v OF PROFITS TO RURAL VILLAGE RENEWABLEENERGY SYSTEMS - Experience with Grant Administration, Accounting, Auditing EAGLE ELECTRIC LLC GENERAL CONTRACTOR - Foundation Excavation -Anchor5upp[y and Installation ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR -Turbine and Panel Wiring -Transformer Procurement and Installation -Distribution Pale and Wire Procurement and Installation -Utility Interconnection Relay and Equipment Procurement and Installation RENAISSANCE ENGINEERING c�C DESSIGN IGLOO ENERGY S YSTEMS ENTEGRITY WIND SYSTEMS -WIND TURBINES -WARRANTY -OEM PACKAGE IDAHO TOWER CONSTRUCTION COMPANY TOWER ERECTION CONTRACTOR -Mechanical Assembly of Turbine Towers - Crane coordination and supervision -Complete Erection Services for Wind Turbine Installation - Experience with Entegrity -Experience with towers and construction logistics.in difficult locations BRIAN D.

The greatest values on projects can typically be achieved through strategically targeting specific elements with the greatest payback potential. Renaissance Engineering & Design is committed to seeking this greatest payback for customers through the beauty of simplicity and efficiency. Whether incorporating new technology or evaluating existing systems for improvement, this goal is always present. RENEWABLE IjN AND SUSS AINA�I� iTlra We provide complete solutions, assessing a given site's resources and designing a renewable energy system that takes advantage of those resources, We are experienced with all types of energy generation technologies and the integration into a simple or multi- faceted solution. In short, we design the system to work with the environment not against it. We carry out everything from researching the available natural resources and gathering data to designing the best system to match those resources. We deliver the solutions with structured, efficient project management services as well as offering packages for on- going operation, remote monitoring and maintenance of the renewable energy systems. Our team experiences range from project management of an 18 kW photovoltaic project to engineering on multi -million dollar wind and hydroelectric projects. Current projects include several medium-sized (-20 MW) wind energy projects on farms and sites in Idaho; assessing the wind resource at the Duck Valley Indian Reservation and also for Clark County in Idaho & Nevada; small wind farm development in Oregon; and operation, maintenance, retrofitting & expanding Idaho's first commercial wind farm. Prior work was done on pelletization and biomass gasification of poultry waste and agricultural crops. We successfully obtained four USDA grants in the summer of 2005for clients to build renewable energy projects. These are in addition to several previous grants during the past few years. One of those projects is a hydrogen generation project powered by wind energy near Boise, I D. This project consists of two 50 kW wind turbines that supply power to hydrolyzers which produce 99.999% pure hydrogen. Renaissance was the project engineer on that development. That project is fully operational and produced almost a dozen full tanker trucks of hydrogen during the rest of the year after the project kickoff in early 2006. The other grants in 2005 were for medium -scale on -farm wind projects 1.5 to 2 MW each in Colorado. In 2006 we installed multiple anemometers across the state in conjunction with assessing the wind resource for the Couer D'Alene tribes in Northern Idaho and in support of a grant project awarded in late 2006 to assess the wind resource in the Camas Prairie for farmers in that region utilizing 5 strategically located towers. Our knowledge and experience in designing sustainable renewable energy systems makes our company an indispensable asset for any project that seeks to utilize available energy resources without sacrificing environmental integrity.

Formerly, he was the owner of the Puerto Rico Tower Company and the BC Construction Group of the Virgin Islands mid Puerto Rico. Since 1992 he has personally erected over 400 self support towers, guyed towers, and monopoles. John's steel erection experience began as an Ironworker, erecting the steel frames of office buildings, airplane hangars, and metal buildings. After Hurricane Huge decimated most of the eomYnunication towers in the Virgin Islands, he started replacing them. As his reputation spread for doing high quality wart: in a fast and efficient manner, he started building towers in Puerto Ricca as well. BC Group became the "go to" company for difficult towers on challenging sites with difficult access or other extraordinary site conditions. When a series of hinTieanes blasted through the islands two years later, and every one of the BC Group towers emerged unscathed, his business flourished. After selling his company in 2000, John moved to Idaho, and started the Idaho Tower Company. In addition to building communications towers, the Idaho Tower Company pursued various wired projects, including turbine erection, and anemometer tower installation. With experience in working in Alaska (John Campbell worked in Anchorage for two summers), with experience erecting over 100 Rohn self support towers, with experience installing the Integrity turbines, and with experience building projects in extremely challenging conditionsat challenging sites with dilicult access, Idaho Tower is uniquely qualified to work on the None Wing Power project.

We have been collecting wind data sporadically for several years, and now believe we are close to having a full year of valid data that indicates sufficient wind resource in the Nome area to move toward the goal of adding wind power. The Mayor of Nome requested assistance from the US Department of Energy and the Alaska Energy Authority to study various alternatives that may be available in the area, including wind, coal, geothermal, and natural gas. There are many issues that will need to be considered by the Utility to come to a finai decision to proceed with any alternative energy project, including capital and operating costs, and maintenance and system-intertie considerations. The study is nearing completion and we expect it to be released soon so local decision makers can utilize it in the planning process. I applaud the proactive attitude, initiative and support of the local community in also seeking creative solutions to the high energy costs in the community, This is to confirm our conversation and interest in the possibility of having alternate energy available to the Utility to avoid diesel use. While the Utility may pursue the installation of wind generation on its own, we encourage you to pursue your concept of installing a private wind farm that could provide energy to our grid. Existing Utility Tariffs do provide for co -generation, but these provisions have not been utilized in years, and were envisioned on a smaller scale than what you propose. The potential of having 500kw available would not interfere with the Utility's own conceptual plans. There are numerous system and operational issues that would need to be considered, and a detailed engineering proposal developed, but we look forward to further discussions, and encourage you to pursue any funding opportunities that may be available to make wind power in Nome a reality. Should such a system be available, NJUS would be interested in pursuing a power purchase agreement that would provide a direct energy cost reduction benefit to Nome's residents, Sincerely, tK.

Edo Benefits of Project. Goals and Perfartnance Measures This project is essentially the beginning of a "Pay It Forward" program for the native communities. The BSNC Board of Directors passed a Resolution requiring that 50% of all profits from this project be reinvested in renewable energy projects in the 17 villages that mare up the Bering Straits region. The Board also made the decision to sell the wind energy to Nome Joint Utilities at a rate below the "avoided costs" with a goal to benefit all residents of Nome. Success of this project will lead to exporting the profits and technical expertise to the villages who are suffering even higher costs than Nome, The entire region is in a wind category ranging from Class 4 to Class 7 winds. Wind energy is classified in a scale from 1 to 7, 1 being light winds and 7 on the other end of the spectrum. Wind is a good energy resource when it hits the Class 4 scale. The majority of the villages that mare up the Bering Straits region have primarily a "subsistence lifestyle" as they lacy a true cash economy. Seal, walrus, moose, caribou and fish make up their primary food source. High energy costs for gas, fuel oil and electricity put an even higher burden of distress on these residents. Our native citizens make use of all of the animal resources and eraviroilment, it is time to add the wind and take advantage of what has previously been a burden and source of hardship. The primary goal is to ultimately add wind energy to all the villages of the region, and this is the start. Complete Data Collection and Real -Time Performance System Performance will be measured by the Draker Sentalis system detailed at the end of this section. This system provides a real-time, internet connected data and performance logging and monitoring; package. The extra expense of this package is well justified to not only document the performance of the system and provide for the reporting requirements but more than that: to allow key decision makers and interested parties to monitor the performance moment by moment and see what is working. Western Community Energy, LLC will be responsible as outlined in the Management Section 6b to install and maintain that system as well as create the reports showing the performance. Meaningful Commercial Installation NOT an Experiment This project is a valid commercial venture as outlined in the Project Design. Section 6a. This is not a demonstration project or an experiment. The data has been collected for over a year and the Nome resource is validated. The key is that as a first project in the area, it will be on point and have a high visibility. Bering Straits Native Corp has contracted with the best, most experienced people available to install a proven turbine that is simple and easy to maintain. The harsh Nome environment is well documented. This project needs the leadership that is behind it in this grant application to help make sure the results are achieved. Kotzebue has over 1,000 kW of wind and has been growing their project a little bit at a time since the 908. Name can now follow that example. Install a real and meaningful project. Then grow over time with more wind after this first installation. Lower Local Energy Costs in Nome and Increase Reliability Nome, like the rest of the United States is faced with ever increasing energy cost. Over the past several years Name has experience double digit increases in our cost of living due to the increase in cost of oil. This is reflected in our electricity and fuel oil costs. Nome Joint Utility Systems has been Harnessing the Wind in Nome Alaska 16 forced to pass this increase in fuel oil prices onto the consumer via a fuel surcharge. IN 2004, NJUS began adding the fuel surcharge of $.0283 to the per Kwh rate of $1875. In 2005 they added a surcharge of $.0753 and in 2006, it nearly doubled to $.1354 for a per Kwh rate of $.3129 plus a $5.00 service fee. The same fuel surcharge is added by our barge and air freight services. The average cost for home heating fuel is $3.94 per gallon. Annual household cost for home heating is $3,209.00 per year, well above the national average and nearly double the extremely high energy cost benchmark of $1,882 per year. BSNC's coinrnitanent to the development of renewable energy is also shown in their decision to install 17 Kw of photovoltaic solar panels on their three-story office building in Nome. This project was directly funded by the company without seeking grant funds. This demonstrates a commitment to renewables that will continue into the future. By pioneering a PV project in western Alaska, their success could provide an additional renewable option for the State of Alaska. BSNC has been a leading participant in Nome's drive to find and develop cheaper energy solutions. Bering Straits also wants to become an example for others to follow and is investing extra time and money into documenting and sharing the results from these endeavors. Also, lowering the percentage of imported fuel can help to make a finite resource in a finite storage tank last longer during storms or other events. Commitment of 50% of Profit to Renewable Energy Installations in Villages The Corporations goal to invest 50% of the profits from this venture into renewable projects in our rural villages demonstrates the corporations desim to lower the cost of living for our shareholders. Bering Straits will truly become a promoter of renewable energy through this program and directly affect the household budgets in each community in Nome as well as the rest of the region. Revenue for BSNC and Sitnasuak Shareholders Outside of Nonce the majority of the shareholders of BSNC, and to some extent SNC rely heavily on subsistence activities for their livelihood. Dividends earned by the corporation not only give them a sense of ownership, but also help offset our high cost of living, a cost of living driven by high energy costs. Inspiration for Future Installations and Future Generations As this project is developed and shareholders are trained to provide the many services required to operate and maintain the units, a new industry will be created. There will be a need for trained technicians, installers and designers which will allow BSNC to export our technical expertise to other regions of rural Alaska, who are suffering along with us, Renewable Energy Alaska Project Letter ®raker Sentalis Energy Data Analysis Package Harnessing the Wind in Nome Alaska 17 r Renewable Energy Alaska Project www.alaslcarenewableenergy.org 308 G Street, Suite 218 642 South Alaska Street, Suite 200 REAP; Anchorage, Alaska 99501 Palmer, Alaska 99645 907-929 7770 (phone & fax) 907-745-6000 (phone & fax) September 28, 2007 Jerald Brown Vice President Bering Straits Native Corporation PO Box 1008 Nome Alaska 99762 RE: Support Letter for Bering Straits Native Corporation's Nome Wind Fame. Project Dear Mr. Brown: I'm writing to support Bering Straits Native Corporation in its proposal for funding from the USDA's "High Cost Energy Program" to build a 300 — 500 kW wind farm in the Nome area in partnership with Sitnasualc Native Corporation (SNC). REAP is well aware that energy prices have reached crisis proportions in rural Alaskan communities such as Nome. REAP is also impressed with all the efforts that the community in Nome is making -to implement local solutions, including the large solar project you are currently undertaking. As you know, REAP is the state's first and only renewable energy advocacy and education organizatiop. We're a coalition of large and small Alaska electric utilities, environmental groups, consumer groups, businesses, Native organizations and state and federal agencies who share the goal of increasing the production of renewable energy in Alaska. REAP believes that replacing petroleum based energy with renewable sources in the rural villages of Alaska is critical in this time of escalating fuel prices. Renewable energy can help stabilize and reduce energy costs by displacing polluting diesel fuel. REAP also firmly believes that renewable energy development is a key to building a sustainable economy in rural Alaska. Over the years REAP has enjoyed collaborating with proponents of renewable energy in the Nome region, and we look forward to continuing that collaboration. We wish you the best in all your endeavors related to renewable energy development. If you have any questions, please call me at 907-745-6000 (office) or 907-232-0905 (cell).

Digital 1/0 Parts Eight ports are provided for frequency measurements, digital control, and triggering. Three of these ports can also be used to pleasure SDM devices. The 1/0 ports can be paired as transmit and receive for measukhig smart serial sensors. RS-232 Port A PC or laptop can be connected to this 9-pin port via an RS-232 cable. CS if 0 Port Data transfer peripherals that require power from the datalogger can be connected to this port via an SC12 cable. This port is also used for connecting the data - logger to a PC via an SC32B or SC-USB interface when optical isolation is required. Peripheral Port One 40-pin port interfaces with the CFM100 Compact - Flash 10, Module or the NL115 Ethernet Interface and -nmpactFlaslt Module. Switched 12 Volt This terminal provides unregulated. 12 V that can be switched on and off sunder program control. Measurement and Control Module The module measures sensors, drives direct commu- nications and telecommu iications, reduces data, con- trols external devices, and stores data and programs in on -board, non-volatile storage. The electronics are RF shielded and glitch protected by the sealed, staWess steel canister. A battery -backed clock assures accurate timekeeping. The module can simultaneously provide measurement and communication .Functions. The on- board, BASIC -like programs ning language supports data processing and analysis routines. Communication Protocols The CR1000 supports the PAr(BusQ communication pro- tocol. PAKBus networks have the distributed routing intelligence to continually evaluate links. Continually evaluating links optimizes delivery times and, in the case of delivery failure, allows automatic switch over to a configured backup route. The CR1000 also supports Modbus RTU protocol —both floating point and long formats. The datalogger can act as a slave, master, or both. Enc�osurelStack Bracket A CR1000 housed in a weather -resistant enclosure can collect data under extremely harsh conditions. The enclosure protects the CRL000 from dust, water, sun- light, or pollutants. An internal mouthing plate is pre - punched for easy system configuration and exchange of equipment in the field. The 17565 Stack Bracket allows a small peripheral to be placed sunder the mounting bracket, thus conserving space. With the bracket, the CR1000 can be attached in a "horizontal" orientation (Le,, the long axis of the CR1000 spanning the short axis of the ENC10/12 enclosure), This :tack bracket also places the terminals on the wir- ing panel at about the same height as the ter - spinals on a PSI 00. The stack bracket as vierved_ vin the side with a CR1060 attache& Poorer Supplies Any 12 Vdc source can power the CR1000; a PS100 or BPALK is typically used.

It is typically mounted in an enclosure lid, which allows customers to view the CR1000's data on -site without opening; the enclosure. Channel Exparpsion 4-Channel Low Level AC Module fhe LLAC4 is a small peripheral device that allows customers to increase the number of available low- level ac inputs by using control ports. This module is often used to measure up to four anemometers, and is especially useful for wind profiling applications. via" Vie L.i.AC4 nz directly to the our eirvirono lariai1 encrutiurem, Synchronous Devices for Measurement (SDMs) SDMs are addressable peripherals that expand the CR1000's measurement and control capabilities. For example, SDMs are available to add control ports, analog outputs, pulse count channels, interval timers, or even a CANbus interface to the system. Multiple SDMs, in any combination, can be connected to one '_R1000 dataloger. Multiplexers Multiplexers increase the number of sensors that can be measured by a CR1000 by sequentially connecting each sensor to the datalogger. Several multiplexers can be controlled by a single CR1000. The CR1000 is compat- ible with the AM16/32A and AM25T. Software Starter Software Campbell Scientific offers easy -to -use starter software intended for first time users or applications that don't require sophisticated communications or datalogger program editing. These software products provide dif- ferent functions and can be used in conjunction with each other. Starter software can be downloaded at no charge from www.campbellsei.com/downloads. Our Resource CD also provides this software as well as Pllp versions of our literature and manuals. Our SCWin Short Cut for Windows(D generates straight- forward CR1000 programs in four easy steps. Short Cut supports programming for our multiplexers and vir- '.ually any sensor that our CR1000 can measure. Our PC200W Starter Software allows customers to transfer a program to, or retrieve data &om, a CR1000 via a direct communications link. Dcatcalogger Support Software Our general purpose datalogger support software pack- ages provide more capabilities than our starter software. Each of these software packages contains program edit- ing, communications, and display tools that can support an entire datalogger network. PC400, our mid -level software, supports a variety of telemetry options, manual data collection, and data dis- play. For programming, it includes bath Short Cut and the CRBasic: program. editor. PC400 does not support combined communication options (e.g., phone-to-RF), Pa1413u50 routing, or srheduled data collection; LoggerNet software is recommended for those applications. Campbell Scientific offers the following tlu°ee LoggerNet Software Packages; LoggerNet, the standard package, is recorrunended for those who have datalogger networks that do not require the more advanced features offered in LoggerNet Admin. It consists of a sewer applica- tion and several client applications integrated into a single product. This software provides all of PC400's capabilities as well as support for combined coin- municatian options (e.g., phone-to-RF), PAXBTJSO) routing, and scheduled data.collection LoggerNet Admin is intended for customers who have large networks. Besides providing better tools for managing large networks, LoggerNet Admin allows customers to remotely manage a datalogger network over TCP/IP, and to remotely and automa- tically distribute data to other computers. s LoggerNetRemole includes LoggerNet Admin clients to administer a running LoggerNet Admin server via TCP/IP from a remote PC. This soft- ware does not include the LoggerNet server. LAggeNel provides a stay to rru:vtaaplrsh alniust all the Wks custo7-ners rieed to cotraplete using a datalogger.

Meteorology The CR1000 is used in long-term climatological monitor- ing, meteorological research, and routine weather mea- surernent applications. Oyr rugged, reliable zrreafher staHoa measures mateor'ological conditions at St. Marys take, Glacier National Park, MT. Sensors the CRI000 can measure include: • cup, propeller, and sonic anemometers • tipping bucket raid gages • wind vanes • pyranometers • ultrasonic dis'ta tee sensors • therrnistors, RTDs, and -thermocouples • barometric pressure sensors • R14 sensors • cooled mirror hygrometers Data is output in a choice of units (e.g., wind speed in miles per hour, meters per second, or knots). Standard CR1000 outputs include wind vector averaging, sigma, theta, histograms, saturation vapor pressure, and vapor pressure From wet/dry bulb temperatures. Agriculture and Acgricultural Research Tl,e versakility of t11e CR1000 allows measurement of agricul- tural processes and equipment in applications such as: • plant water: research • canopy energy balance • machinery performance • plant pathology • crop Management decisions • food processing/storage frost prediction • irrigation scheduling • integrated pest management This vitaculture site in Australia integrates meteurologicol, soil, and crop nieasurerrrenfs. Wind Profiling Our data acquisition systems can monitor conditions at wind assessment sites, at producing whid farms, and along transmission lines. The reliability of these sys- tems ensures data collection, even Under adverse condi- tions. Wide operating temperature ranges -and weather- proof enclosures allow our systems to operate reliably in harsh environments. The CR1000 makes and records measurements, controls electrical devices, and can function as PLCs or RTUs. Because the datalogger has its own power supply (bat- teries, solar panels), it can continue to measure and store and nd perform control during power outages. Typical sensors for wild assessment applications include, but are not limitari fn- • sonic anemometers • three -cup and propeller anemometers (up to 10 artexnom.eters can be measured by using two LLAC4 peripherals) + wind vanes + temperature sensors (air, water, and equipment) ■ barometric pressure • wetness • solar radiation A Campbell Scientific system monitors an ,offshore wind farm in North Wines. For tutbine performance applications, the CR1000 can mon- itor electrical current, voltage, wattage, stress, and torque. Soil Moisture The CR1000 is compatible with the following soil mois- ture measurement technologies: ■ Soil, moisture blocks are inexpensive sensors that estimate soil water potential. • Matric water potential sensors also estimate soil water potential but are more durable than soil moisture blocks. • Tinte-Domain Reflectometry Systems (TDR) use a reflectometer controlled by a CR1000 to accurately measure soil water content. Multiplexers allow sequen- tial measurement of a large number of probes by one reflectoaneter, reducing cost per measurement. • Self-contained seater content reflectometers are sensors that emit and measure a TDR pulse. • Tensiometers measure the soil pore pressure of irrigated soils and calculate soil moisture. 6 Air Quality The CR1000 can monitor and control gas analyzers, par- ticle samplers, and visibility sensors. It can also auto- matically control calibration sequences and compute conditional averages that exclude invalid data (e.g., data recorded during power failures or calibration intervals). Road Weather/RWIS Our fully NTCIP-cornpliant Fnvaonmental Sensor Stations (VSS) are robust, reliable weather stations used for .road weather/RWIS applications. A typical ESS includes a tower, CR1000, two road sensors, remote communica- tion hardware, and sensors that measure wind speed and direction, _* temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, solar radiation, and precipitation. The CR1000 can also measure soil moisture and temperature sensors, monitor bridge vibrations, and control external devices. Water Resources/Aquaculture Our CR1000 is well -suited to remote, unattended moni- toring of hydrologic conditions. Most hydrologic sen- sors, including SDI-42 probes, interface directly to the CR1000. 1pxcal hydrologic measurements: • Water level is rhonitoxed with incremental shaft encoders, double bubblers, ultrasonic level trans- ducers, resistance tapes, or strain gage or vibrating wire pressure transducers. Some shaft encoders require a QD1 Interface. Vibrating wire transducers require an AVW1, AVW4, or AVW100 Interface. • Well draw-doW t tests use a pressure transducer measured at logarithmic intervals or at a rate based on incremental changes irn water level. • ionic conductivity measurements use one of the switched excitation ports from the CR1000. • Samplers are controlled by the !CR1000 as a function of time, water quality, or water level. • Alarm and pump actuation are controlled through digital I/D ports that operate external relay drivers.

Printed September 2007 7. Project Budget The major project cost component is of course the supply of the wind turbines themselves. A sales agreement has been provided by Entegrity and is specifically included in Section 6a.3 along with the pertinent information about the wind turbines themselves. Note that the price of $165,000 each - includes a five year extended warranty and O&M agreement. This is very valuable for the Nome installation. The shipping cost estimate of a total of $333,000 includes all handling to get the turbines actually to the installation site, uncrate them and haul away the boxes, stage them and ready the units for construction. The turbine erection cost estimate is from John Campbell of Idaho Tower Company based on a verbal quote and his own extensive experience. The cost estimates for the Eagle Electric installation work and the Utility interconnection expenses are based on similar construction projects in the lower 48 states with an estimated increase for the Nome location. The detailed engineering required to specifically quote that part of the contract is included rt the project budget. The project management budget amounts to $330,000, and there is over $470,000 in a project contingency budget item as well.
