1.4 Project Location
Belle River Wind is proposing to develop a wind project in the Town of Lakeshore in the County of Essex, Ontario.
The Project will be located on public and private lands south of the community of Belle River. The location of the
Project was established based on interest expressed by local landowners, the availability of wind resources, and
availability of existing infrastructure for connection to the electrical grid.
According to O. Reg. 359/09, as amended, the Project Location is “a part of land and all or part of any building or
structure in, on, or over which a person is engaging in or proposes to engage in the project and any air space in
which a person is engaging in or proposes to engage in the project”. As described therein, the Project Location
boundary is the outer limit of where site preparation and construction activities will occur (i.e., disturbance areas
described below) and where permanent infrastructure will be located, including the air space occupied by turbine
blades.
The Project is generally bounded by County Road 42 to the north, Lakeshore Road 111 to the west, Highway 401
and South Middle Road to the south, and Comber Sideroad to the east. The area encompassed by these boundaries
is referred to as the Project Study Area (“PSA”). Figure 1-1, below, shows a map of the PSA. To see the location of
the Project within Ontario, please see Figure 1-2.
SP Belle River Draft Wind Turbine Specifications Report – Belle River Wind Project
Rpt_2015-02-12_Draft Wind Turbine Specification Report_60321891 3
Figure 1-1 Project Study Area
The PSA covers approximately 22,200 acres1 of land that the Town of Lakeshore’s Official Plan (2010) and the
Town of Lakeshore Zoning By-law (2014) confirm is predominantly zoned for agricultural use. The PSA also consists
of fragmented areas of forest and riparian habitat associated with small creeks or farm drains. The Project is not
situated on Crown land or within areas protected under provincial land use plans. The PSA represents the area
being assessed as part of the REA process. The following co-ordinates define corners of the external boundaries of
the PSA:
Longitude Latitude
-82.769 42.277
-82.687 42.236
-82.645 42.2
-82.55 42.268
The Project will be located primarily on privately owned land with some components (e.g., electrical collector lines)
being placed along public right-of-ways. Legal descriptions of the land parcels to be used for the Project is provided
in Appendix A of the Project Description Report (“PDR”).
1. Metric units are used throughout REA documentation when describing the size of Project infrastructure, except in instances describing areas of land. When describing land size, acres (imperial) will be used rather than hectares (metric) because it is the measuring unit most commonly used by the local community. It is assumed that 1 hectare of land is equal to 2.47 acres of land.

2.2.1 Turbine Components
As shown on Figure 2-1, the Siemens SWT-3.2-113 wind turbine is made up of four main components: the foundation,
tower, nacelle (e.g., hub) and blades. The nacelle will be mounted on a 99.5 m high tubular steel tower which contains
an internal personnel hoists and lifts for maintenance access. A prefabricated power module is located at the bottom of
the tower and provides the platform for the power converter. The turbine pad-mounted transformer will be located
beside the tower base. The turbine will be constructed on a foundation that is approximately 20 m in diameter. The
foundation consists of poured concrete and steel rebar to provide added strength.

The three 55 m blades of the Siemens SWT-3.2-113 wind turbine will generate electricity between the wind speeds
of 3 to 5 m/s (i.e., the cut-in wind speed) and 32 m/s (i.e., the cut-out wind speed) and will reach its nameplate
capacity of 3.2 MW when wind speeds reach approximately 12 to 13 m/s (Siemens, 2014a; Siemens, 2014b). As
shown on Figure 2-2, most of the equipment used to convert wind energy into electricity is contained in the nacelle
of the turbine. The nacelle also acts as a sound enclosure to reduce noise emissions.

In order to maximize electricity production, the wind turbine is designed to automatically rotate (yaw) into the wind
and adjust the pitch of the blades. In low and medium wind speed conditions, the blade pitch setting is slowly
adjusted to provide maximum power output. In high wind conditions, the power output can be limited on all wind
turbines in order to prevent the generator from overloading.

Rpt_2015-02-12_Draft Wind Turbine Specification Report_60321891 8
The nacelle includes major wind turbine components such as the main shaft and bearing, gearbox, brake disc and
generator. The nacelle is climate controlled and is constructed from steel and fibreglass to protect against the
elements. The wind turbine is equipped with lightning protection to protect from the effects of direct and nearby
strikes. The overall design basis refers to the international standard IEC 61400-24 Lightning Protection Level I, and
includes (Siemens, 2010):
Protection of the blades with a dedicated protection system. A flexible integrated metal conductor
located inside the blade provides the conduction path from the receptors to the hub;
Hub casting that is used as a natural bonding conductor to the main shaft. The insulated lightning down
conductor is fed through the hub to end on the shaft structure;
Protection of the main shaft using brushes to carry the lightning current flow from the blades to the stator
and further from the nacelle bed frame to the ground;
A Nacelle canopy that provides protection for the components inside which are also grounded by natural
bonding points and metal conductors;
A pick-up system that provides ground connection from the tower to the nacelle;
Protection of the turbine controller by surge protection devices installed with mechanical overload
protection; and,
Conduction from the nacelle to the earth via the tower and heavy bounding of the foundation.
Refer to Appendix B for more information on lightning protection and other technical specifications.

Lightning Protection and Earthing Siemens D3
Siemens D3 includes SWT-3.0-101, SWT-3.0-108, SWT-3.2-101, SWT-3.2-108, SWT-3.0-113, and SWT-3.2-113.
1. Lightning Protection
General These specifications are valid for Siemens D3 wind turbines. This document reflects the current manufacturing specifications of a system of the wind turbine that is designed to prevent certain lightning to cause damage to the wind turbine. In this document, Siemens only provides a mechanical and technical description of the wind turbine. However, Siemens shall not be obliged to assume any liability for any direct and/or indirect damages on the turbine caused by lightning unless such damage is a direct result of defective design, manufacture, installation or maintenance.
Design BasisThe overall design basis refers to the standard IEC 61400-24:2010 'Wind turbine generator systems - Part 24 Lightning Protection' and the standards for building technology IEC 62305-1-4 ED 2.0:2010, lightning protection level I.
Blades The blades are protected with a dedicated protection system. Each blade has lightning receptors fitted close to the tip and, for blade lengths from 40 m and up, at other locations along the blade. The receptors project slightly above the blade surface on both sides. A flexible integrated metal conductor located inside the blade provides the conduction path from the receptors to the hub.
Hub The hub casting is used as a natural bonding conductor to the main shaft. For the D3 wind turbines, the insulated lightning down conductor is fed through the hub to end on the shaft structure.
Main Shaft and Bearing To keep the main bearing sufficiently protected, brushes are used to carry the lightning current flow from the blades to the stator and further from the nacelle bed frame to the ground. These brushes function as an electrical connection giving a low impedance current path.
Nacelle The nacelle canopy is fabricated as a Faraday cage that provides protection for the components inside. All components protruding from the nacelle are protected against direct lightning impacts and EMI. At the transition into the nacelle, surge arrestors are used where necessary. There is a small area of the nacelle where, due to the construction of the shaft, there will be a zone where the lightning current runs from the shaft to the bedframe. Around this area there is an elevated magnetic field in front of the nacelle, in case of a lightning stroke through the blades.
Equipment inside the Nacelle Equipment inside the nacelle is grounded by natural bonding points and metal conductors.
Yaw System A pick-up system provides ground connection from the tower to the nacelle.

Tower The tower acts as a natural bonding part providing conduction from the nacelle to the earth. The wind turbine earthing system must be connected to a completing earthing system provided by the Purchaser.
Electrical System Surge arrestors in the main supply and communication connections by fiber optical cables provide protection from effects of nearby lightning strikes. The power supply of the control system is based on a UPS that gives a clean electrical environment for all computers and electronics. The Faraday cages of the hub, nacelle and tower provide damping of the magnetic field coupling for all energy containing components inside, i.e. lubrication, electrical and hydraulic systems. All signaling cabling is shielded, signal cables and power cables are separated, and all cubicles/connection boxes are made of metal and fitted with dedicated bonding. Siemens Wind Power recommends all cables leaving/entering the wind turbine being routed in a metal encapsulated manner.
Outside placed equipment and cables Equipment placed outside the wind turbine, e.g. a transformer placed outside the tower, has to be grounded in an appropriate manner and connected to the earthing system of the wind turbine. Additionally, cables entering/leaving the wind turbine have to be either covered in a metal encapsulation or installed deep enough in the ground/foundation so that the cables are placed under the reinforcement of the earthing system.
2. Earthing
General Siemens wind turbines are equipped with an equipotential bonding and down-conductor system designed according to IEC 62305 and IEC 61400-24. This system must be connected to an earthing system in the foundation provided by the employer.
The solution used by Siemens Wind Power for gravity foundation with double electrode rings is based on IEC 61400-24 (Annex I - Earth Termination System), which describes the possible choice of electrode arrangement (also defined in this standard).
Requirements for Earthing System Figure 1 depicts a principle drawing for a wind turbine earthing system and its connection to the tower. The turbine tower acts as the main bonding and down conductor system (“natural down conductor” according to IEC 62305-3, chapter 5.3.5) of the wind turbine.
The earthing system of the wind turbine foundation consists of several components, e.g. concrete reinforcement, ring electrodes, stainless steel outlets, anchor ring, and connection clamps. The electrical connection between tower and earthing system is realized via the foundation bolts which are electrically connected to the tower for the purpose of conducting fault and lightning currents to earth. In order to connect electrical equipment, e.g. the power unit, to the down-conductor system, the tower is equipped with PE pads (Protective Earth pads) realized as brackets. They will be directly mounted at the foundation bolts which are connected to earth.
The reinforcement in the foundation shall be systematically bonded using clamp connections. Furthermore, all metal parts in the foundation shall be bonded by clamp connections to the reinforcement. The same applies to the ring electrodes. All earthing system conductors, e.g. ring electrodes, shall be selected with at least 50 mm2 bare copper wires. Similar metal works with a conductive cross section that corresponds to at least 50 mm2 copper are also an option. In the latter case, caution to corrosion should be taken when selecting materials.

Connection between Electrical Systems and the Earthing System The star point earthing system of the transformer LV windings must be connected to the wind turbine earthing system by means of a PE conductor that has to be connected to the PE pads in the tower.
The cross section area of the PE conductor must be in accordance with IEC 60364-5-54, and eventually local requirements have to be respected.
Siemens, however, requires the PE conductor cross section to be at least half of the phase conductor cross section.
High voltage cables connecting the wind turbine to a power grid shall be shielded and connected to the turbine earthing system. For onshore projects, a bare copper conductor of at least 50mm2 shall be placed along all cable ducts and be connected to the earthing system of the turbine. The principle is depicted in figure 1.
Onshore Foundations For onshore turbines the earthing system must include at least one inner earth ring electrode with a diameter of between 1 and 2 m larger than the tower bottom diameter, and one outer ring electrode with a diameter depending on the earthing system type (A or B) as stated in IEC 61400-24:2010.
Monopile and Jacket Foundation for Offshore TurbinesIf foundation is of monopile or jacket type, surface to surface between transition piece and tower shall be metal-to-metal. In case a transition piece is not used, it is necessary to evaluate solutions for the connection.

Cold Climate Version SpecificationsSWT-3.2-113 IIA
GeneralThis specification describes the special features of Siemens Wind Power’s SWT-3.2-113 IIA wind turbine suited for cold climate operation and standstill. Features not mentioned are identical with the standard version of the SWT-3.2-113 IIA. It should be noted that the final specification of the cold climate version should be checked up against site-specific conditions and requirements for approvals, etc.
Temperature RangesThe standard version of the SWT-3.2-113 IIA turbine is designed to the following temperature intervals:Stand still: According to Design Climatic Conditions documentOperation: According to Design Climatic Conditions document
The cold climate version will extend the low limit temperatures to:Stand-still: -45 °COperation: -30 °C
Operation pre-requisitesFor operation down to -30 °C it is assumed that the turbine is continuously grid connected. This includesperiods with low wind in order to maintain the temperature of controller cabinets and other specific components when no or limited heat is generated by operation.
Stand-still pre-requisitesFor stand-still down to -45 °C it is assumed that the turbine is continuously grid connected or backed up by external power supply.
Special Cold Climate Material Features & ComponentsStandard turbine components are applied in the cold climate version with the exception of these components:
Low temperature rated hydraulic oilHydraulic components rated for low temperature grade oilLow temperature rated generator- and converter cooling liquidElectric heaters in tower baseElectric heaters in nacelleCold climate version of turbine controller softwareCold-resistant steel is chosen for the turbine tower where needed, according to EN 1993-1-10:2005.

The turbine is fully operational down to -30 °C. Depending on history and wind conditions the turbine will stop at temperatures lower than -30 °C. The point of restart after a period with ambient temperatures below -30 °C depends on how low the ambient temperature has been, for how long, wind speed, operational history as well as the rate of temperature increase.
The turbine components are generally designed intrinsically for operation down to -30 °C. Some components however, are rated for a higher temperature and in order to meet these design limits, electric heaters are installed in the turbine. The thermostatically controlled heaters are installed in electrical panels, nacelle, and tower base.In most wind scenarios, the power consumption in auxiliary components and losses in generator circuit will maintain components temperatures within design limits without the need for electric heater operation.
Standstill strategyThe turbine structural components generally are designed intrinsically for standstill down to -45 °C. Some components however, are rated for a higher temperature and in order to meet these design limits, electric heaters are installed in the turbine. The thermostatically controlled heaters are installed in electrical panels, generator, nacelle and tower base. The heaters are dimensioned to maintain temperature in components and relevant environment above thestandstill design rating.
Additional Power ConsumptionDue to thermostatically controlled heating elements, additional power consumption from the grid must be expected during cold weather situations.

Technical Description SWT-3.2-113 IEC IIA
Rotor-NacelleThe rotor is a three-bladed cantilevered construction, mounted upwind of the tower. The power output is controlled by pitch regulation. The rotor speed is variable and is designed to maximize the aerodynamic efficiency while maintaining loads and noise level.
The nacelle has been designed for safe access to all service points during scheduled service. In addition the nacelle has, when it appears with machinery guards fully assembled, been designed for safe presence of service technicians in the nacelle during Service Test Runs with the wind turbine in full operation. This allows a high quality service of the wind turbine and provides optimum troubleshooting conditions.
Blades The blades are made of fiberglass-reinforced epoxy in Siemens’ proprietary IntegralBlade® manufacturing process. In this process the blades are cast in one piece to eliminate weaker areas at glue joints. The blades are mounted on pitch bearings and can be feathered 80 degrees for shutdown purposes. Each blade has its own independent pitching mechanism capable of feathering the blade under any operating condition. The blade pitch arrangement allows for optimization of the power output throughout the operating range, and the blades are feathered during standstill to minimize wind loads.
Rotor Hub The rotor hub is cast in nodular cast iron and is fitted to the generator rotor with a flange connection. The hub is sufficiently large to provide a comfortable working environment for service technicians during maintenance of blade roots and pitch bearings from inside the structure.
Main Shaft A cast, hollow and fixed main shaft ensures a comfortable internal access from the canopy to the hub.
Main Bearing The rotating parts of the wind turbine are supported by a single, double-tapered roller bearing. The bearing is grease lubricated.
Generator The generator is a fully enclosed synchronous generator with permanent magnet excitation. The generator rotor construction and stator windings are designed for high efficiency at partial loads. The generator is positioned between the tower and the hub producing a comfortably lean arrangement of the internals in the nacelle.
Mechanical Brake The mechanical brake is fitted to the non-drive end of the generator rotor and has three hydraulic calipers.
Yaw System A cast bed frame connects the shaft to the tower. The yaw bearing is an externally geared ring with a friction bearing. A series of electric planetary gear motors drives the yawing.
Canopy The weather screen and housing around the machinery in the nacelle is made of fiberglass-reinforced laminated panels with multiple fire-protecting properties. The design implies fully integrated lightning and EMC protection.
TowerThe wind turbine is mounted on a tapered tubular steel tower. The tower has internal ascent and direct access to the yaw system and nacelle. It is equipped with platforms and internal electric lighting.

ControllerThe wind turbine controller is a microprocessor-based industrial controller. The controller is complete with switchgear and protection devices. It is self-diagnosing and an industrial touch panel and display may be used for easy readout of status and for adjustment of settings.
Converter The NetConverter® power conversion system allows generator operation at variable speed, frequency and voltage while supplying power at constant frequency and voltage to the MV transformer. The power conversion system is water cooled and has a modular arrangement for easy maintenance.
SCADA The wind turbine provides connection to the Siemens WebWPS SCADA system. This system offers remote control and a variety of status views and useful reports from a standard internet web browser. The status views present information including electrical and mechanical data, operation and fault status, meteorological data and grid station data.
Turbine Condition Monitoring In addition to the Siemens WebWPS SCADA system, the wind turbine is equipped with the unique Siemens condition monitoring setup. This system monitors the vibration level of the main components and compares the actual vibration spectra with a set of established reference spectra. Result review, detailed analysis and reprogramming can all be carried out using a standard web browser.
Operation SystemsThe wind turbine operates automatically. It is self-starting when the wind speed reaches the cut-in wind speed. The output increases according to the power curve until the wind speed reaches nominal wind speed. The wind turbine continues to produce power until, the wind turbines reaches the cut-out wind speed.
The wind turbine is equipped, as an embedded solution in the design, with the High Wind Ride Through (HWRT®) functionality, which provides improved grid stability by reducing the risk of simultaneous power cut outs during higher wind conditions.
During high wind conditions, a wind turbine would typically shut down and not cut in until the wind speed is below a certain threshold. HWRT® can extend power production in high wind conditions by controlling power and speed, as wind speed and wind variations increase respectively. This is done without impacting the structural integrity of the wind turbine.
The HWRT® functionality has two modes which operate independently, i.e. reduction of rotational speed and reduction of power production. The first mode, reduction of rotational speed, reduces the wind turbine’s speed as a function of the absolute value of the rotor acceleration. This gives a reduction of speed and power depending on the wind turbulence. The second mode, reduction of power production, reduces the active power as a function of the pitch angle. An illustration of the HWRT® principle together with the standard operation in high wind is shown in figure 1.

The HWRT® will be activated when the wind speed reaches the activation limit S4. The functionality enables extended turbine operation beyond the shutdown wind speed S2 and until shutdown wind speed S3.
Shutdown occurs when wind speed exceeds the limit in any of the three average time intervals, which typically cover time intervals of 600, 30, and 1 second. Shorter averaged time intervals correspond to higher shutdown thresholds. With HWRT®, all three shutdown thresholds are increased.
The HWRT® parameters are listed in table 1.
