Efficiency Improvement Goals<br />
How did <strong>ABM</strong> get started:<br />
- History of developing energy efficient drives; example one of the first<br />
companies to offer high efficiency AC Induction motors for battery powered<br />
forklifts<br />
- <strong>ABM</strong> Mission: Find and Develop New Growth Markets and Opportunities<br />
- Decades of Experience in Gearbox and Motor Design and Manufacturing<br />
- Small Enough to adapt quickly to changes in Global Marketplace

Biomass Heating Systems<br />
Wood Pellet and Chip Heating Boilers<br />
- Oil, Gas or Wood Pellet Boiler Systems are the most commonly<br />
used heating source in Europe<br />
- Wood Pellet/Chip Boilers require geared motors for conveying<br />
fuel to burn chambers<br />
- Boilers are installed in cellars/basements of residential homes<br />
and conveyor drives must be efficient but also quiet<br />
- Space is a major concern for Boiler makers and homeowner so<br />
gearboxes must be compact<br />

Biomass Heating Systems<br />
The “old” Days<br />
- Worm-gearboxes with grey cast iron housings<br />
- Energy hogs with efficiencies between 40 and 60 %<br />
- Require oversize motors to provide needed output<br />
- Housings are made out of grey cast iron that require<br />
painting for rust protection<br />
- Heavy cast iron housings<br />
- noisy

Biomass Heating Systems<br />
The Future<br />
- Helical Gearboxes with aluminum housings<br />
- Highly efficient with losses of only 2 % per stage<br />
- 3-stage gearbox has an efficiency of 94 %<br />
- Relatively small motor conserves raw materials<br />
- Aluminum housings are easy to machine and DO NOT require<br />
painting for corrosion protection<br />
- Low weight saves energy in transportation<br />
- Low operating noise

Wind Turbine Market<br />
Wind Turbines for Renewable Energy Generation<br />
- Experienced tremendous growth over the last decade<br />
- Growth will increase after slow down in 2009<br />
- Need for reliable complete pitch and yaw systems suppliers<br />
- Current supply chain lacks in house systems competency<br />
- Germany is the technology leader

SINOCHRON ® Motors for Pitch <strong>Drives</strong><br />
<strong>ABM</strong> SINOCHRON® Motor<br />
• Simple Stator Design<br />
identical to 3-phase induction motor<br />
• Permanent Magnet Rotor Design<br />
no magnetizing energy required<br />
zero rotor losses<br />
higher energy density >> smaller<br />
more dynamic

SINOCHRON ® Motors for Pitch <strong>Drives</strong><br />
� Comparison Space Requirement: Induction- vs. SINOCHRON ® Motor<br />
� Motor Output 0,75 kW, Synchronous Speed 1500 min -1<br />
Compactness of SINOCHRON ® Motor is the result of superiour power density.<br />
With the same output a SINOCHRON ® Motor needs less space AND has better efficiency.<br />
30% less space needed

Low Inertia Motors for Yaw <strong>Drives</strong><br />
Yaw Drive Problem:<br />
- Blow-by condition (wind gust pushes nacelle against direction of adjustment)<br />
- High motor inertia increases load on gearbox especially pinion shaft<br />
- Stress on gearbox pinion shaft shortens life or results in catastrophic failure<br />
- <strong>ABM</strong> Solution: Design Low Inertia Motor that still provides sufficient<br />
torque for safe rotation of nacelle under normal wind conditions
