curve of the WET D8 with a rated power of 2,000 kW at an air density of 1.225
kg/m3
and a
turbulence intensity of 10% on flat terrain is shown by the following diagram.
The associated table on the next page shows the rated power depending on wind
speeds. It should be noted that the power output can change with an air density
different from 1.225 kg/m3
and a
higher turbulence intensity than 10%.
The
contractor guarantees that at least *****% of the power curve that was obtained
at a reference location will be achieved under the above conditions of air
density and turbulence intensity. In this sense, the reference location is
a
location at which a measurement of the power curve is possible according to
FGW
[Federation
of German Windpower] guideline Rev. 13 Ed.01/2000. The output is measured on
the
low voltage side in the area of the foot of the tower or in the transform
station. This warranty is given for the duration of 2 years and begins with
the
date of the end of the trial operation period, but at the latest two months
after the recorded initial startup of the WET.

If
defects are reported with respect to the power curve, which the contractor
does
not consider as such, the principal can commission an independent expert
acceptable to both parties or an institute (e.g., DEWI, Windconsult, Windtest,
or the like) to conduct measurements at the site. These measurements must be
conducted according to the IEC 61400-12 or the FGW Rev. 13 Ed.01.2000
standards.
If
the
power curve does not lie within the guaranteed range of *****% of the measured
power curve according to the findings of the independent expert or institute
commissioned by the principal, although the principal has cleaned the rotor
blades in line with the contract, the contractor shall bear the expense of
the
review. In this case, the contractor shall improve the power curve at his
expense within one year of receipt of the measurement result from the
independent expert or institute such that the necessary value is
reached.

If
the
contractor is not able to increase the power curve to the guaranteed power
level
within the above-referenced period of one year after he has repeatedly taken
corresponding measures, unless the non-achievement of the power curve is based
on willful or grossly negligent conduct by the contractor, the contractor shall
pay the principal the following lump-sum damages to satisfy all claims for
damages by the principal for the non-compliance with the guaranteed power

Acoustic
Emissions
|
The
contractor guarantees an acoustic power level of 104 dB(A) at hub height at
a
wind speed of 10 m/s according to the IEC 61400-11 Ed.12.2002 standard. This
warranty is given for the duration of 2 years and begins with the date of the
end of the trial operation period, but at the latest two months after written
confirmation of the initial startup of the WET.
If
the
principal complains within the warranty period that the acoustic power levels
are excessively high, a test shall be carried out by a jointly agreed measuring
institute or expert at the principal’s expense.
If
it is
proven thereby that the emissions exceed the guaranteed acoustic power level,
the cost of the test and the costs resulting from the reworking of the equipment
shall be borne by the contractor. The contractor shall be granted a period
of 12
months from the time of the written confirmation of the test findings to carry
out the necessary reworking. The principal undertakes to support the contractor
in implementing the reworking measures.
If
the
guaranteed acoustic power level cannot be achieved within the 12-month reworking
period, unless the non-compliance with the guaranteed acoustic power level
is
based on willful or grossly negligent conduct by the contractor, the contractor
must pay to the principal the following lump-sum damages to satisfy all claims
for damages by the principal for non-compliance with the guaranteed power
curve.

Availability
of WET
|
During
the availability time defined in Section 2.2.10 supplier guarantees the
following technical availability for each individual wind energy turbine (WET):
a)
An
average of at least 90% in the first two months of operation after the testing
operation period is over;
b)
An
average of at least 95% in the remaining ten months of the first year of

Computation
of availability of the WET
|
The
definition of WET availability is the status of a WET in which it is technically
available for operation.
The
formula to calculate technical availability of a WET is the following:
where:
A
Availability:
technical availability of the WET [%];
P
Corrected
period:
Reckoned as the overall period minus times without WET data (e.g., losses of
data [h]). The total time is every year of availability time, namely 8760 hours
for regular years and 8784 hours for leap years;
T
Total
down time:
The
whole down time of the WET [h] as defined below
N
Non-liable
down time:
The
total WET down time [h] for which supplier cannot be made liable as defined
below.
4.4.01.1 |
Definition
of T (total down time)
|
T
is
defined as the total sum of all down time during the entire period P except
for
the following modalities, which constitute part of the regular operation of
a
WET:
·

If
the
actual energy yield Y exceeds the theoretical annual energy yield calculated
in
accordance with the wind data provided by the customer, supplier must pay no
lump-sum indemnity, even if WET availability during the specific period is
less
than the warranty figure G.
The
supplier receives a share of the additional yields obtained if the actual
technical availability is greater than the guaranteed availability. This reward
as described in the above formula must be divided between supplier and customer
in accordance with the percentages listed in the above tables.

Manner
of payment and forfeiture clause
|
Supplier
will reckon the lump-sum indemnity or bonus on the basis of its own availability
and yield information at customer’s request annually from the beginning of the
warranty period. When doing so it will reckon the lump-sum indemnity and/or
bonus payment individually per WET. If
supplier does not receive a request for invoicing within six months after the
end of the warranty period, customer forfeits its claim for payment of the
lump-sum indemnity. Six months after expiry of the warranty period supplier
likewise forfeits its claims to bonus payments unless it shall have previously
demanded of the customer them in writing.
