Short Overview Avantis
Citation preview
Backgrounds
AVANTIS GROUP / Avantis Limited HKFounded five years ago in Hong Kong, then based in Delaware
Developers of technology, owners of all AV patents (group)
Developers and owners of key technology (generator: GDS)
Active Licenses to HHI, GYAW, and Brazil (EdRB)
Private Group operating with own capital, no liabilities
First orders received (200 MW Vietnam, 2 x 200 MW China)
Brazilian Licensee secured 300 MW starting in 2011
PRODUCT: Outstanding Technology
Wind turbines turn the energy contained in the wind into electrical energy. There are different ways to achieve this goal.
Most wind turbine models have traditionally been stall-type, fixed speed ones with large gearboxes
A second generation used variable speed, pitched blades and LVRT capabilities; some, like Enercon, introduced gearless machines (but with doubly fed generators)
Avantis has designed a PM generator with extreme high power outputs while being small in comparison, water cooled → low temperature rise
No gearboxes means lower down times, higher availability, less repairs and maintenance ⇒ higher profit
Avantis has proprietary blade designs adding to higher performances than the competition
Other features (like water cooled components) and clever design add further advantages, the result is outstanding performance

K ey components make a key player
Avantis gets all its ducks slowly into a row now
Product Portfolio
Present Portfolio:
2.5 MW, IEC class IIa - AV 9282.3 MW, IEC class IIIa - AV 1010
Very soon:
3.75 MW, IEC class Ia - AV 926 for ............. offshoreUnder development:7.5 MW for offshore - special design900 kW - special for China*100 kW - world wide demand*: highly political background demand
Tricks of the Trade: ElectromechanicsHow to achieve higher power than the rest
All major components from first-rated industry players only (ABB, Hyundai, AVN, FAG, Brevini, and others)
All strategically important components are water cooled (converter, generator, transformer)
Fully redundant AC-DC-AC IGBT converter fulfills all network grid codes and requirements
Water cooled Midel oil transformer in the nacelle, MV cable in the tower
Lowest mechanical and electrical losses in the whole class → high power output, low friction and maintenance
No gearbox → no costly exchange needs → no stock-keeping → low maintenance costs → low losses
Tricks of the Trade: Blades, control, serviceshow higher technical efficiency can be achieved
Blades: specially developed for the AV 928, high power output, strong structure, relatively low weightBlades: The AB-92 type blades (for class II) can withstand storm loads of class I (typhoons, hurricanes) – unique!Intelligent control and SCADA software safeguards highest operational safetyTurbine family: all turbines use the same components, up to over 90% identical; costs saving over full rangeTurbines are offshore-ready; AV 926 is a full 3.75 MW offshore designed turbineEconomic high efficiency: Avantis offers 5- or 7-years warranties instead of the usual two for some major components10-15 year lifetime service concepts also available; Avantis can afford this due to low maintenance needs
Who benefits?
Project Owners: Faster ROI, higher profits, more reliability
Utilities: turbine supports the grid instead of burdening it (LVRT, provision of reactive power to the grid
Neighbors: Less noise emittance, great looks of turbine
Investors: Markets growth very strong in wind power; in wind sector, new technologies and direct drive technologies are favored
Consumers: Higher reliability and safety

Marketing and SalesGLOBAL APPROACH I
Full presence in major marketsChina/Asia:assembly plant in Beihai, Guangxiblade plant planned for Zhuhai, Guangdong; small turbinesanother assembly plant planned for Liaoning
Europe:assembly plants planned for Italy and Germanyblade plant planned for North GermanyOffshore facilities planned for Scotland (6 MW turbine)USA:assembly plants planned for Ohio, California, East Coastblade plant location not set
Marketing and SalesGLOBAL APPROACH II
Korea:License Agreement with Hyundai Heavy Industries in placealso makes generators for Avantis Groupoperates in many countries, co-operation with Avantis
Reduced presence in secondary markets
Brazil/South America:License agreement in place with EdRB, Sao Pauloclose co-operation with European developersServes Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and ParaguayIndia:License planned for Chennai, IndiaDeveloper and Sales Network in place (Energreen)Serves India, Bangla Desh, and Sri Lanka
Wind Industry
Most competitors are gearbox turbine makers - older technologies (Vestas, GE, Gamesa, Sinovel, Suzlon/Repower, Dongfang etc)
Makers of more modern - and seemingly similar - technologies still have problems with overheating and sizing of generators (Goldwind/Vensys, Harakosan/XEMC, Enercon, and others)
Avantis has strong technical advantages over both groups
In addition, Avantis offers full service concepts - not all do that
Not easy to copy - strong proprietary technology on our side
Main competitors
Strong teams
Experienced management team of leaders - wind and overall
Very experienced engineers lead the development, strong ties
Younger engineers, hungry for their own success, lead 2nd tier
Specialists from many competitors have and will join Avantis
Good mixture of technical and commercial, young and old
Expertise in all fields of wind power - turbine development, manufacturing, farm/site planning, operation
No boundaries: people of all kind work for the group
Group also makes strong use of 1st rated outside parties
Good mixture of different talents
