12  General Considerations ◦ Creating Dual UPS Buses ◦ Existing UPS System  500 kVA / 400 kW Liebert Series 610 with  3 VRLA Battery Cabinets includes  Alber Battery Monitoring  Quarterly Preventative Maintenance & Inspections ◦ Wet cell Battery Technology not considered  Footprint for 2 nd UPS & Energy Storage limited  2 nd Floor Installation – potential structural concerns ◦ 1N Generator back-up ◦ Recent Battery Failure during generator project

13 Liebert NXL UPS (w transformer) 5 00kVA/450kW Pro:  Traditional Approach  In the 225 – 600 kVA sizes ◦ Been in production since 2009 ◦ Over 975 units throughout the country Liebert NX UPS (wo transformer) 500kVA/500kW Pro:  In all sizes ◦ Been in production since 2007 ◦ Over 8,500 units are in use worldwide  Weighs less  Smaller footprint  Higher efficiency (95% at 200-500kW, 93% at 125kW)  Transistorized rectifier has high input power factor and less current distortion  Much easier load for generator to handle  No input transformer-low inrush on utility and on generator  Modular component design reduces MTTR  Supports much wider load power factor range: 0.70 leading to 0.70 lagging

14 Liebert NXL UPS Cons:  Weighs more than NX  Larger Footprint  Lower efficiency (92% at 225-450kW, 90% at 125kW) Liebert NX UPS Cons:  In the 225 – 600 KVA sizes ◦ Been in production since 2013 ◦ Only 80 units in US ◦ Field service has less experience than NXL ◦ New User Interface Screen to get familiar with ◦ No isolation transformer, input and output is 3W+G only

15 Liebert 500kVA/500kW NX UPS (without transformer) chosen as basis of design  Main Reasons: ◦ Smaller Footprint ◦ Less Weight ◦ Higher efficiency ◦ Easier on generator ◦ Lower cost ≈ 6%  Main Concern ◦ Newer US Based Model / Field Service Experience  Mitigation of concerns ◦ Creating Dual UPS Buses ◦ Local Liebert Training and support for Customer Engineers

16 Decision Two – Flywheel vs. VRLA

17 AUTOMATIC STATIC BYPASS Energy Storage RECTIFIER / CHARGER LOAD INVERTER DCSOURCE MAINTENANCE BYPASS Review of Basic UPS System

18  Lead Acid Batteries Most Prevalent ◦ Sealed Valve-Regulated (VRLA) ◦ Wet Cell  Emerging Technologies ◦ Flywheels ◦ Superconducting Magnets ◦ Ultra-Capacitors ◦ Other Battery Types (NiCad, Li-Ion, NiMH, etc.) ◦ Fuel Cells ◦ Micro Turbines

19 Typical 5/10-Year Battery Typical 10-Year Battery Typical VRLA Batteries in a Cabinet

20 1.Flywheel - Heart of the system providing a 20-year life with no maintenance. 2.Master Controller - Monitors output demand and controls the various subsystems including charging (monitoring) and discharging (generating) of the flywheel. 3.Magnetic Bearing Controller - Controls the position of the flywheel rotor via a 5- axis active magnetic bearing system. 4.Bi-Directional Power Converter - Interface between the DC bus and the variable frequency, variable voltage AC generated by the flywheel. 5.Vacuum Pump - Evacuates air within the flywheel to reduce windage losses resulting in increased electrical efficiency.

21  General Considerations ◦ Creating Dual UPS Buses ◦ Existing UPS System  500 kVA / 400 kW Liebert Series 610 with  3 VRLA Battery Cabinets includes  Alber Battery Monitoring  Quarterly Preventative Maintenance & Inspections ◦ Wet cell Battery Technology not considered due to  Footprint for 2 nd UPS & Energy Storage limited  2 nd Floor Installation – potential structural concerns ◦ 1N Generator back-up ◦ Recent Battery Failure during generator project

22 Liebert NX UPS VRLA Battery Cabinets Pro:  Stored Energy in event of loss of utility & generator is 10 minutes at full UPS Load  OhioHealth is familiar with battery cabinets  Less upfront cost versus flywheel option  Due to batteries being used at more sites and the long history of battery usage, service technicians have more experience servicing batteries  Companies providing UPSs (Liebert, APC) and companies providing batteries (C&D and EnerSys) have long, established track records Liebert NX UPS Flywheels Pro:  Diversity in energy storage reducing likelihood of recent outage re-occurring  ROI of Flywheels vs. Battery is 4 to 5 years or when the 1 st battery replacement costs occur  Flywheel life expectancy is 20 years  Flywheel maintenance is 1 time per year vs. quarterly battery inspections  Less parts using 3 Flywheels vs. using 3 battery cabinets with 40 batteries per cabinet  GREEN solution; efficient  Less annual maintenance costs  Smaller footprint / Less Weight  Faster recharge after discharge  Higher reliability than batteries

23 Liebert NX UPS VRLA Battery Cabinets Con:  Higher Maintenance Costs  Higher Replacement Cost (need to replace every 3 - 4 years)  More Maintenance than flywheel quarterly vs. annual  Larger footprint and weight  Bring in a hazardous material (Lead).  Present a higher fire hazard Liebert NX UPS Flywheels Con:  Most costly upfront ≈ 50% equipment only  Flywheels offer minimum stored energy (20-30 seconds) depending on UPS Load. ◦ On loss of utility & the generator fails to start  Less familiarity for All involved  Communications protocols not as established

25 UPS Runtime with 1 Battery Strings UPS Runtime with 2 Battery Strings UPS Runtime with 3 Battery Strings

26 Vycon Flywheel chosen as basis of design  Main Reasons for flywheel: ◦ Diversity of energy storage – reducing likelihood of battery failure causing outage ◦ ROI of flywheel vs. batter≈ 5 years or 1st Full Battery replacement ◦ Flywheel life expectancy 20 years ◦ Footprint & Weight ◦ Less yearly maintenance

27 Vycon Flywheel chosen as basis of design  Concern & Mitigations: 1.Limited stored energy (20-30 seconds) depending on UPS Load a)Dual UPS Bus Design b)Diversity One UPS Bus Battery and other Flywheel c)Generator new and well maintained d)Facility staff isn’t on site 24 / 7 / 365 2.Upfront cost a)Due to weight reduction compared to VRLA structural upgrades not required – overall budget ≈ 12% higher for flywheels b)ROI of ≈ 4-5 years 3.Field Service Experience a)Flywheels have minimum parts to fail b)Support of Vycon during installation c)Dual Bus UPS Design d)N+1 Flywheel Design 4.Communications protocols a)Understanding that communication issues are not necessarily critical concerns b)Commitment from vendors to work through issues until resolved

28  Review all options  Do not ignore concerns – look for mitigation  Open & honest discussions are key
