  WHEREAS:
  (A)
By an agreement dated [l] 2010 (the Contract, which term includes all amendments to variations of or supplements to it from time to time in force) the Principal has agreed to engage Ecoware S.p.A. (the Contractor) for the design, supply, construction, assembly and start-up of a photovoltaic plant to be located in the Municipality of Cingoli (Macerata, Italy). Unless the context otherwise requires, words and expressions defined in the Contract have the same meaning when used in this Guarantee, as defined below.
  (B)
According to the Contract, Contractors shall procure the delivery to Principal of a parent company guarantee in the form of this guarantee (“Guarantee”) within 7 (seven) Working Days of execution of the Contract and in any case before having received the first payment milestone.
  (C)
The Guarantor has agreed to guarantee the due performance of the Contract by the Contractor.
  (D)
The Guarantor is the Contractor’s Parent Company, as defined in the Contract.
  IT IS AGREED as follows:
  1.
The Guarantor:
  (a)
guarantees to the Principal, as primary obligor and not as surety, the due and punctual performance by the Contractor of each and all of the obligations, warranties, duties and undertakings of the Contractor under the Contract when such obligations, duties and undertakings shall become due and performable according to the terms of such Contract;
  (b)
agrees, in addition to its obligations set out in clause 1(a) above, to indemnify the Principal against all losses, damages, costs and/or expenses which the Principal may incur by reason of any breach by the Contractor of its obligations, warranties, duties and undertakings under the Contract save that this shall not be construed as imposing greater or different obligations or liabilities on the Guarantor than are imposed on the Contractor under the Contract; and
  
  (c)
agrees to indemnify the Principal on demand against any loss or liability suffered by it if any obligation guaranteed by the Guarantor is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal as if the obligation guaranteed had not been unenforceable, invalid or illegal provided that the Guarantor's liability shall be no greater than the Contractor's liability would have been if the obligation guaranteed had not become unenforceable, invalid or illegal.
  2.
The liability of the Guarantor under this Guarantee shall not be reduced or discharged by any act, omission or other thing whereby (in absence of this provision) the liability of the Guarantor under this Guarantee would or might be reduced or discharged in whole or in part as a consequence of:
  (a)
any amendment to the obligations undertaken by the Contractor whether, by way of any addendum or variation referred to in clause 3 below, any suspension of the Works, extension of the time or otherwise; or
  (b)
amendment to, or any variation, waiver or release of, (any part of) the Contract or any security or other guarantee in respect thereof; or
  (c)
the termination of the Contract under the Contract attributable to the Contractor; or
  (d)

  3.
In the event of change in control or ownership of the Contractor, the Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect. In the event of change in control or ownership of the Contractor, the Guarantor shall promptly notify to the Principal the name of the new controlling person or owner of the Contractor.
  4.
The Guarantor by this Guarantee authorises the Contractor and the Principal to make any addendum, variation or amendment to the Contract, the due and punctual performance of which addendum and variation shall be likewise guaranteed by the Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this Guarantee.
  5.
This Guarantee shall be a primary obligation of the Guarantor to perform or to take whatever steps may be necessary to procure the performance of the obligations of the Contractor under the Contract which have been breached, to assume jointly and severally with the Contractor all rights and obligations of the Contractor under the Contract and to pay the Principal from time to time any and all sums of money which the Contractor is at any time liable to pay to the Principal under the Contract; accordingly the Principal shall not be obliged before enforcing this Guarantor Guarantee to take any action in any court or arbitral proceedings against the Contractor, to make demand or any claim against the Contractor, to enforce any other security held by it in respect of the obligations of the Contractor under the Contract or to exercise, levy or enforce any distress, or other process of execution against the Contractor.
  6.

The radian is composed entirely of metal sheets of galvanized steel. The wing, consisting of a system of beams and stringers, shall be fixed to the earth by four stakes driven into the ground. The work of fitting the stand is easy and repetitive, making it possible to reduce drastically the time for installation of the equipment.

The wing is the part of the structure that houses the photovoltaic modules. It is composed of two strips that come from the factory with the photovoltaic modules assembled according to the Ecoware technology known as Shell PV (SPV), which brings significant advantages in terms of mismatch, transportability, insulation, safety and installability.

HYDRAULICS OF THE SOIL
 
 The existing agricultural hydraulic system on the land assigned for the photovoltaic plant will not be altered by the latter, so that namely:
 
 1.
levelling operations will not be performed to such an extent as to alter the slopes creating the natural gradients to run off storm water towards the existing natural drainsserving the area.
 
 2.
streets for development will be made in ballast laid out above the countryside level for a total height of 30 cm + cm: from the slope detected, such roads will not act as a barrier to the natural run-off slope of the water, where it appears that the opposite is true,driveways should be provided for each channel each 15-25 m for the flow of water.

 4 MECHANICS
 
 The entire structure is protected by galvanizing and this is such as to ensure the protection of the same for the Conto Energia 20-year duration (except marine areas or particular exceptions). Finally a special mention must be made about the system of junction between the different components of the frame of the solar sail.
 
 These are made using a "clinching" technique  that unites the two parts of material through a simple mechanical deformation, and this joining technique (imported from the automotive sector) has a number of important advantages over the traditional techniqueof welding.
 
 These advantages may be summarized as follows:
 
 l
Absence of changes in the protection of the material (zinc coating, painting) in areas of junction
 
 l
Homogeneity and Certification of holding for individual joints
 
 l
Reduction in  production time

 5 STRUCTURES
 
 This chapter aims to describe the structural part of the entire Radiant (sail + stand + foundation) and provide the preliminary level of the calculation methodology that will be usedat the executive level.
 
 5.1
General
 
 The structure of the sails that hold the photovoltaic modules is of a size so it can hold the loads, as required by the regulations (wind, snow, seismic effects), without resorting to electronic controls.
 
 The structure of the Radiant is designed to withstand a wind speed of 28 m / swith gusts of 41 m / s
 
 This choice, though punitive in economic terms, appears to be the only possible one in legal and regulatory terms which also  ensures the operator of the photovoltaic plant the best duration of the sameover time.
 
 5.2
MATERIALS USED
 
 The structure is composed of:
 
 1. Profiles of folded cold metal compounds with S235 blades;
 
 2. tubular UNI
 
 All bolted joints are made with screws and bolts in cl. 8.8
 
 5.3
CHARACTERISTICS OF SOIL FOUNDATION
 
 The characteristics of the soil foundation for each site are derived from a Geotechnical SPT test campaignwhich was carried out at a depth of 4 m , which is appropriate to characterize the layers of soil affected by the loads.The sampling points and the results are reported in the geological report.
 
 5.4
METHOD USED
 
 5.4.1
Calculation Methodology
 
 The methodology of calculation used for the verification of resistance to permanent actions and the weather-based strains is the ultimate limit state, with elastic calculation of the effects of the actions of  calculation.
 
 In verifying flexing of sections, for cold formed profiles, the effective elastic moduli were taken,performing the reductions foreseen to prevent instability of the dishes.
 
 5.4.2
Combination of actions
 
 In determining the loads on structures under consideration the slope of the sail, equal to 30 degrees, is essential.
 
 For the sizing of beams that form the edges of the panels and stringers, the combination of its own weight, snow and wind with solar panels above the wind level will be critical. However, for the foundations, we must also consider the combination of its own weight and wind with solar panels underthe wind level, due to the danger of lifting as a result of the upward action.
 
 The calculations and the results of structural checks are specified in the "structural calculation report.

 6.1
DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTALLATION
 
 6.1.1
PV generator
 
 The photovoltaic generator, built on fixed structures of Ecoware type model Radiante 36, will be made up of 170 strings in parallel (2 for each Radiante), each consisting of 18 PV modulesin series with nominal power of 240 Wp each.
 
 The modules will be of Ecoware type, monocrystalline silicon, each with rated power equal to 240 Wp (see Section 2: Module Datasheet)
 
 Each PV module will be equipped with bypass diodes, so as to exclude the part of the module containing one or more cells which are broken / shaded in order to avoid the counter-power andresulting in damage (these diodes will be included in the junction box coupled to the PV moduleitself).
 
 The connection between the modules in each string will be established, wherever possible, with the cables with which the modules are provided.
 
 Where these are not sufficient, the features needed to form the string will bemade with unipolar sheathed ,rubber insulated cables,  with rated voltages of at least 0.6 / 1 kVwith sections of at least 4 mm2, with MC4 connectors or similar.
 
 Total peak power of the plant is therefore equal to:
 
 P=TOTP(nr. tot. Mod.240 power mod 3060 * Wp) =734.40 kWp
 
 More details of calculation are shown in the attached calculation tables.

 6.3.2
Faults in Low Voltage
 
 The protection against indirect contact is made with low voltage side automatic disconnection circuit as required by IEC standard 64-8, art. 413.1.
 
 The relationships that govern the choice of features that the devicesfor protection must have change according to the methods of earthing, defined as TN. TT and IT.
 
 TN system = The system has one point connected directly to the ground while the masses of the installation are connected to the same point by means of a conductorfor protection. More specifically, we have a TN-S system when theneutral conductor and protective conductor are separate,
 
 TN-C when the neutral conductor and protective conductor arecombined into a single conductor (PEN), a TN-CS system whenTN-C system is limited to a part of the plant.
 
 TT = The system has one point connected directly to the ground while the masses of the plant are connected to a ground system electricallyindependently of the earthing system for the power feed.
 
 IT System = The system has the active parts separated from the ground (floating) while the masses of the installation shall be earthed individually, in groups orcollectively.
 
 The TN system relates to plants at low voltage on the AC side placed inside and outside the technical area, whose power is derived from the auxiliary frame. The common (neutral) is connected to the earth of the technical room and the masses are connected to the earth sinks placed near the control frames
 
 The individual sinks and the ground of the technical area are connected by conductors to the ground.
 
 The system is therefore attributable as type TN-S
 
 The TN system is also found in the plant for PV production on the DC side in which the masses (frames) of the modules are connected to ground through the support structures which are themselves directly connected to ground and positive pole is connected to ground at each inverter.
 
 The protective devices should interrupt power to the circuit automatically whenin case of failure, between an active part and a mass or a protective conductor there is acontact voltage above 50 V ac and 120 V dc
 
 The tension of contact should be eliminated in times sufficiently low, set conventionally, identifiable by the "safety curve" and never be more than 5s.For the TN system the condition to be met is as follows:
 
 Zs * Ia = Uo where:
 
 =Zsis the impedance of the ring fault that includes the source, the active conductor until point of failure and the protective conductor from the point of failure and the sourceIa= is the current that causes the automatic interruption of food within the timedefined in the table 41A of Article. 413.1.3.3 of the IEC 64-8 according to the nominal voltage
 
 Uo
 
 Uo= is the nominal voltage AC, effective triphase and earth that corresponds to the voltage at phase-neutral
 Page 24 of 38
 File:R.01 - Technical report - Radiant 36
 Project for a photovoltaic power plant equal to 734.40 kWp
 The choice of device in a TN system can be made between:
 
 -
Differential current protection device, in particular of selective anti-disturbance type;
 
 -
Overcurrent protection device;
 
 More specifically:
 
 -
TN-C system, that is when the neutral and protective functions are combined into a single conductor, called PEN; differential current protection devices should not be used;
 
 -
TN-CS system, that is when the neutral and protective functions are combined into a single conductor in one part of the system; if differential protection devices are used, no
 
 PEN conductor should be used downstream of the same.
 
 It is stated that for the plant in question, where photovoltaic modules have been adopted, equipment and cabling systems in class II, a kind of passive protection is achieved that does not require automatic interruption of the circuit according to CEI 64-8 art. 413.2.
 
 It is understood that, despite the intervention of the safety devices (fuses), the heads of the strings remain under a dangerous voltage (> 120V) while the terminals of the photovoltaic modules are still at a level of voltage below the voltage limit set by the rules of contact.
 
 In conclusion it is necessary that before any maintenance operation at the photovoltaic plantany alarm signals emitted by the inverter will be noted and that due care will be taken on the DC circuit, especially along and at the heads of the lines connecting the strings to theinverter.

 6.4
PROTECTION OF CONDUCTORS AGAINST CURRENT SURGES
 
 The conductors must be protected by one or more devices from the occurrence of current surges that may be caused by overload or short circuits.
 
 The devices that provide these protections are:
 
 -
Circuit breakers equipped with overcurrent releases;
 
 -
Fuses.
 
 6.4.1
Overload protection
 
 In order to avoid current overload, which could lead to harmful overheating of the insulation or of the surrounding environment, a conduit, with operating currentIband rangeIz
 
 (Ib <= Iz),must be protected by a device having a ratedcurrent and (/1}
 
 conventional working currentIfsuch that these satisfy the conditions:
 
 Ib <= In <= Iz
 
 If <= 1.45 x Iz
 
 The switches comply with IEC 23-3 and 17-5 and fulfill the second condition.
 
 6.4.2
Protection against short circuits
 
 The protective devices should interrupt short circuit currents that may occur in the plant in a way that ensures that the conductor does not reach dangerous temperaturesaccording to the ratio:
 
 I 2 t <= K 2 S 2 where:
 
 I 2 t = Joule's integral, so that the specific energy passing through in a time equal to the duration of the short circuit
 
 K = coefficient characteristic of each cable;
 
 S = section of the conductor.
 
 6.4.3
DC side protection
 
 The cables of the PV system are chosen for the maximum current that the modules can generate in themost critical conditions, namely the short circuit current Isc, then it is reasonableto suggest that they should be protected against overload due to surges.
 
 Protective devices are chosen so as to interrupt short circuit currents that, in a photovoltaic plant, can be determined by:
 
 -
Failure between two poles of the DC system;
 
 -
Ground fault for systems with a ground point;
 
 -
Double earth fault systems isolated from ground
 
 The devices are generally fuses, installed either in frames for parallel strings (to protect the wire string against overcurrent due to the sum of the currents of the otherstrings in parallel) or at the input of the inverter (to protect the cable for connection between this andthe framework for parallel strings).

 Project for a photovoltaic power plant equal to 734.40 kWp
 
 6.4.4
AC side protection
 
 The cables between the inverter and the point of parallel are also sized for the maximum current produced thus making it unnecessary to provide protection against overcurrent due to overload.
 
 However protection is provided against overcurrent due to short circuits which usually coincides with the master switch for low voltage as this is suitable for strong currents on the network side.
 
 Indeed, in the case of short circuit, the inverter limits the output current to a maximum value of  approximately double its current rating by involving the internal protection when a short circuit is fed directly from the network.
 
 6.5
METHODS FOR DIMENSIONING AND CALCULATION
 
 6.5.1
Cable Sizing
 
 The sizing of the cables is such as to ensure the protection of the conductors for currents against overload.
 
 According toIEC 64-8/4 (para.433.2) the protective device must be coordinated with theconductor so that the following conditions are fulfilled:
 
 a)Ib≤In≤Iz
 
 b)If≤1.45 Iz
 
 To satisfy  conditiona)it is necessary to size the cable on the basis of the nominal current for protection upstream.
 
 From the currentIbwe determine the nominal current for the upstream protection (normalized values) and with this we proceed to the choice of the section.
 
 The choice is made according to the table showing the permissible currentIzaccording to the type of insulation of the cable you want to use, the type of installation and number of active conductors; the range that the cable will have will therefore be:
 
 Minimum Iz = In / k
 
 where the coefficientkfor downgrading also takes into account any parallels. The section is chosen so that its range (multiplied by a coefficient k) is immediately higher than that calculated using the current rating(Iz minimum).Any parallel calculation, assumingthey all have the same section, length, pose, etc.. (para. 433.3), considering theminimum range as a result of the sum of individual ranges (graded by the number of parallels in thederating factor for proximity).
 
 Condition B does not require verification for the switches that respond to the standard 23.3 IV Ed have a ratio between conventional current IF and nominal current in lessthan 1.45 and constant for all calibrations below 125A. For industrial equipment, however, theCEI 17.5 and IEC 947 norms establish that this ratio can vary according to the nominal currentbut it must remain less than or equal to 1.45. It follows that under these regulations condition B will always be satisfied.
 
 Conduits dimensioned according to this criterion are therefore protected against surges.
 
 From the section of the phase cable we derive the calculation of'I 2 tof the cable or maximum permissible specific energy for the cable as:
 
 I 2 t = K 2 S 2
 
 The constantKis given by the standard 64-8/4 (para.434.3), depending on the conductive material and insulating material.

 6.5.2
Voltage Drops
 
 The voltage drops are measured on the UNEL 35023-70 scales.
 
 Consistent with these tables, the voltage drop of a single branch is evaluated as:
 
 CDT (Ib) = kcdtxIbx(Luke / 1000)x[Rcavoxcosφ+sinφXcavo x]x100/Vn [%]
 
 where
 
 kcdt= 2 for single-phase systems
 
 kcdt= 1.73 for three-phase systems.
 
 ParametersRcavoandXcavoare taken from the UNEL Table and depend on the type of cable (unipolar / multipolar), and the section of the conductors and the values ofRcavoreported refer to 80 ° C, while theXcavorefers to 50Hz, both being expressed in ohms / km.
 
 The voltage drop from upstream to downstream (total) of a number of users is determined by the sum of voltage drops, absolute for one conductor, of the branches upstream of the users in question, and from this we then find a percentage of the voltage drop in the system (three-phase or single-phase) and the rated voltage of the user concerned.
 
 6.5.3
Sizing protective conductors
 
 The IEC 64.8 (para. 543.1) provide two methods for sizing of conductors Protection:
 
 -
Determination in relation to the section of phase;
 
 -
Determination by calculation.
 
 The first criterion is to calculate the section in the following format:
 
 -
Spec=SfwhereSf<16mm 2;
 
 -
Spec= 16 mm 2 if 16 <=sf<= 35;
 
 -
Spec=Sf / 2if Sf> 35 mm 2.
 
 The second criterion is to determine the value by the integral of Joule.
 
 The method adopted in this project is the second.
 
 6.5.4
Calculation of Faults
 
 The calculation of faults is done in order to determine the minimum and maximum short circuit currents immediately downstream of protection (starting line) and downstream of users (end of line).
 
 The conditions in which they are determined are:
 
 -
Tri-phase fault (symmetrical);
 
 -
Ground phase fault (asymmetrical).
 
 The parameters for the sequences of each user are initialized from those of user input and the first should, in turn, initialize the parameters of the line downstream.

 File:R.01 - Technical report - Radiant 36
 Project for a photovoltaic power plant equal to 734.40 kWp
 
 6.5.5
Calculation of the maximum short circuit current
 
 The calculation is performed under the following conditions:
 
 a) the nominal voltage must be multiplied by a factor of tension equal to 1;
 
 b) the minimum impedance fault is calculated at 20 ° C.
 
 6.5.6
Calculation of short circuit currents
 
 The calculation is performed under the following conditions:
 
 a) the nominal voltage must be multiplied by a factor of tension equal to 1;
 
 b) the minimum impedance fault is calculated at 20 ° C.
 
 Neglecting the lowering of line voltage and raising the temperature would give:
 
 
 
 Norm 64-8 proposes a formula that takes into account some parameters previously neglected, stating thatvalues obtained by this formula are used to verify the timeliness for intervention by protection devices, but not for the determination of the power for interruption"
 
 
 
 where:
 
 Icc= short-circuit current in A
 
 0.8 = factor taking into account voltage sag
 
 V = voltage in V
 
 S = conductor cross section in mm2
 
 1.5 = factor which takes into account the temperature
 
 ρ = resistivity of conductor at 20 ° C in mm2/ m
 
 2 = factor for single phase
 
 l = length of line in m
 
 6.6
PROTECTION AGAINST VOLTAGE SPIKES
 
 On the terminals of each frame for parallel strings (QPS) there have been adopted surge dischargers  (SPD) type CPT CS3-40/600 to protect against surges induced by discharges of atmospheric origin.

 7 SECURITY SYSTEM
 
 The security system adopted by Ecoware for photovoltaic systems consists of two main components that married together, provide a high level performance, reducing costs compared to normal devices adopted anda speed of installation that goes directly from the pre-wired cable to the company. They are:
 
 1. Fiber optic perimeter anti-intrusion system
 
 2. PICS ®
 
 More details are contained in the tables IS.01, 02, and 03.
 
 7.1
FIBER OPTIC PERIMETER ANTI-INTRUSION SYSTEM
 
 The security system is a 24 hour-a-day fiber optic perimeter system , which provides protection from intruders from within the protected area. It uses fiber optic technology for  sensors and as asupport element for the transmission of the alarm. Since the fiber optic line is made of glass and an internallight (not electrical)signal passes down the same, , the system is 100% reliable as an alarm signal. The systemis not affected by bad weather (hail, thunderstorms, fog, sun, rain), wind (there is no wind effect), magnetic fields or electrical interference from radio frequencies, or vibrations of any kind. Finally, birds do not cause false alarms because the system, through the management software, deletes all optical stress points,by continuallyreading an average of the signals arising from the fiber optics. The perimeter fiber optical system is composed of:
 
 -
Central FOSE microprocessor that runs from 1 to 8 transponders
 
 -
Optical protection in the field
 
 -
Support poles for the system with taut strings
 
 -
Fiber optic link between central microprocessor and alarm zones.
 
 PICS ®7.2
 
 Each network consists of a control unit and area microprocessor controllers which are connected to sensors (PICS-node).
 
 The PICS-node consists of an electronic circuit of small size, protected from weathering by a coating of acrylic / polyurethane resin and fixed permanently on the back of each photovoltaic module.
 
 Depending on the manufacturer and the process for mounting, the attachment of the PICS-node will be ensured by asafety bolt and / or a two-component epoxy adhesive that once dried crystallizes and makes it impossible to remove.
 
 PICS-Each sensor node contains an identification code that resides on a 64-bit nonvolatile memory(lasered ROM).
 
 The sensors are electrically connected together with bus cable thus forming areas.
 
 The electrical connection of the cables is by a crimped termination in heat-shrunk nylon that ensures resistance to weathering.
 
 Each area is connected to a microprocessor called the "area controller" which is housed in the field frame for the Tracker installations while for the Radiantes it is necessary to use one dedicated frame fixed to the poles of the structure.
 Page 31 of 38
 File:R.01 - Technical report - Radiant 36
 Project for a photovoltaic power plant equal to 734.40 kWp
 The microprocessor checks the status of the PICS-nodes and in case of damage or tampering transmits an alarm signal via wireless or RS485 control unit.
 
 In turn, the control unit notifies the operations center of Ecoware in Padua via RF, GSM or satellite, and Ecoware can thus also see the area where the alert was generated and intervene promptly.
 
 The whole system offers maximum security due to the continuous  dialogue between the monitoring station, the control unit, the microprocessors and single-node PICS allowing the immediate identification of the infringement and prompt action by supervision staff.
 
 The PIC control system can be integrated into the general plant control system that monitors and manages the production of energy, alarms and access control.

 8 Integrated Security
 
 To protect the entire site from intrusion attempts, as required by the commission, a system will be installedcomposed of these main elements:
 
 VIDEOSURVEILLANCE: camera and lighting
 
 ANTI-INTRUSION: microwave barriers
 
 The INTEGRATED SYSTEM has an innovative appearance and firmware to facilitate programming operations and normal use of the instrument. Architecturemodular, with MDV motion detection for outdoor environments, interference filters against atmospheric agents variation of natural and / or artificial light, dimension of objects, from 8 to 16 masking areas for each video input, SDD Slow Down Detection - real time image analysisthrough Neuro Type Algorithm (patented) with smart features, MPX software and a multi-level video-map for alarm management. Sixteen supervised video inputs and sixteen video outputs Loopthrough, sixteen alarm inputs and two video outputs for analog monitors, representthecharacteristics of  reference of this model. Due to  its high level of flexibility, the integrated digital system MDV + Alexys + MPX is used in the management of high security video control systems in environments of different types, such as the banking, industrial and service sectors, where it is necessary both to ensure high quality image definition and long range recording.Thus rendering it Ideal for perimeter protection against intruders and terrorists. The system comes standard with a Linux operating system, and an internal Hard Disk with 250GB (MDV) + 320GB (Alexsys) with internal expandability up to 640GB.Integrated Virtual Keyboard. Motion detector performed in real time using cutting edge technology with dynamic masking zones and levels of sensitivity. Activity detector. Multiplexers and demultiplexers of recorded images.
 
 MOTION DETECTION
 
 This special and extremely important function is independently programmable for each individual camera. By defining masking zones  and sensitivity levels and thus optimising the  analysis and recording stages and employment of the hard drive,  only the imagescharacterized by the actual presence of motion detected within the preset areas will be recorded and static images shall be  discarded as insignificant.
 
 Moreover, this feature allows you to proactively manage the alarm, activating a warning to the Control Center, from which you can acquire images directly and decide on the possible intervention of on-site personnel.
 
 CENTRALIZATION
 
 This is an extraordinary feature that gives the devices that are equipped with it a level of expandability ranking among the most advanced on the market today: the centralization ofimages using public lines (PSTN-ISDN-ADSL-HDSL) or LAN, WAN networks.Simultaneous management of local video-recording and communication with the Control Center  provides a powerful means of Video-surveillance.

 9. INTEGRATED CONTROL SYSTEM FOR PRODUCTION, ENERGY AND SURVEILLANCE: PROTEO
 This document specifies the hardware and software for the architecture of the Proteus supervision system.
 
 Supervision is based on networks of communication at many levels and on software applications which allow monitoring of devices present in the plants.
 
 The generic definition of the elements is a key factor in that the entire system provides for monitoring of devices regardless of their make and model, of their modes of communication and of the transmission protocols that they can use.
 
 If some elements are not equipped with "outputs" capable of meeting the demands for Proteo’s data collection signal converters or other accessories will be installed which do meet these requirements.

Y r

Y f
(1)
 Yfis the final PV system yield, that is the net AC energy output divided by the nominal  DC. power of the installed PV System. It represents the number of hours that the PV System would need to operate at its rated power to produce that amount of energy. The value for Yf  is calculated by equation 2:
 E

Pn

Y f
[kWh / kWp]
(2)
 where:
 Yf  = final PV System yield
 E= System net AC energy output in kWh Pn = System nominal power in kWp
 
 Yris the reference yield that is the total in-plane irradiance H divided by the PV’s reference irradiance G. It represents the equivalent number of hours necessary for the array to receive the reference irradiance. If  G  equals 1 kW/m2, then Yr is the number of peak sun-hours. The Yr defines the solar radiation resource for the PV system. It is a function of the location, orientation of the PV array, and month-to-month and year-to-year weather variability. The value for Yr is calculated by equation 3:
 H

Y r
[(kWh/m2) / (kW/m2)]

 Yr = reference yield
 H= total plan of array irradiance in kWh/m2
 G  = reference irradiance (usually 1 kW/m2)
 
 The performance ratio (PR) calculated by the equation (1) is Yf  divided by Yr.By normalizing with respect to irradiance, it quantifies the overall effect of losses on the rated output due to inverter efficiency and wiring mismatch, and other losses when converting from DC to AC power; PV module temperature; incomplete use of irradiance by reflection from the module front surface; soiling or snow; system down-time and component failure.
  
  1. Measurement of effective performance ratio
  On the base of the above assumptions, the effective performance ratio(PReff)) is calculated as follows:
  PReff= (Eeff* G )/ (Pn * f * H )
  Where:
  Eeff:
is the production of electric energy (in kWh) measured at the point established by the GSE at low voltage
 
 G:
is the standard irradiance value, meaning the value representing the instantaneous power of the solar radiation which hits a orthogonal plane surface in standard conditions, equal to 1000 W/ m2
 
 Pn:
is the nominal peak power (in kW) of the System in standard conditions STC
 
 f:
is a correction factor due to the panels performance degradation equal to (1- 0,0008 * Nmonths) where Nmonthsis the “number of months” from the opening of the worksite
 
 H:
is the value of the irradiation in (kWh/m2) measured under the measurement operational conditions mentioned below
 
 For the avoidance of doubts, whenever throughout the Contract, reference to the Performance Ratio of the System is made, it is clear to all Parties that the PReffis meant.
  2. Measurement operational conditions
 
 Ø
Utilized instruments: N. 2 class II pyranometers
 Ø
The exact position of the pyranometers will be decided in the Executive Project.
 Ø
Measurements performed with the pyranometers will be recorded every 10 minutes
 Ø
Every hour an average irradiation value will be calculated as follows:
  (a) Hi(kWh/m2) at the ith hour
 
 Ø
Hourly average irradiation less than 600 Wh/m2will be discarded
 Ø
At the end of each period the total irradiation will be calculated as follows:
  (b) H = ∑ Hiwhere “i” is a value from 1 to (24 * n)
  3. Stopping periods
  During the course of the measurement, stopping periods not attributable to the Contractor responsibilities (i.e. stopping periods due to theft, vandalism, Force Majeure events, non-availability of monitoring system, power outage of the national electricity grid, wilful misconduct or gross negligence of the Owner) will be excluded from the calculation of the PReff.
 
 
 
 4. Minimum Guaranteed Performance Ratio (MGPR)
  The Minimum Guaranteed Performance Ratio (MGPR) will be a function of two parameters:
 
 Ø
type of system: fixed or tracker
 
 Ø
type of measurement: over one year periodicity or over different time span
 
 For one year periodicity measurement the Minimum Guaranteed Performance Ratio (MGPR) will be:
 
 MGPR_fixed = xx for fixed systems
 
 MGPR_tracker= yy for tracker systems
  For different time duration measurement, the Minimum Guaranteed Performance Ratio (MGPR_short-term) will be corrected through a corrective Factor (Ftemp) depending on the ambient temperature.
 
 The following condition will have to be satisfied:
 
 Ø
for one year periodicity measurements:
  PReff≥ MGPR
 
 Ø
for different time duration measurements:
  PReff≥ MGPR_short-term
 
 where:
 
 MGPR_short-term= MGPR * Ftemp
  The methodology to calculate the temperature corrective factor is below described.
  5. Correction of Minimum Guaranteed Performance Ratio
  The methodology of correction is based on standard CEI 82-25.
  This measurement consists in the verification of the following conditions when in presence of irradiation superior to 600 W/m2:
 
 Pdc > 0,85 * Pn  * I / ISTC
 
 Pac> 0,9 * Pdc
  that is:
 
 Pac> 0,765 * Pn * I / ISTC
  
  Where:
  Pdc:
is the DC power (in kW) measured at the PV generator output, with a precision better than ±  2%;
  Pac:
is the AC power (in kW) measured at the LV inverter output, with a precision better than ± 2%;
  Pn :
is the nominal power (in kW) of the System;
  I :
is the instantaneous irradiance on the module plane (in W/m2), with a precision better than ± 3%; ;
  ISTC:
is the irradiance in standard conditions, equal to 1000 W/m2.
 
 If during the course of these measurements, a panel temperature reading superior to 40°C is taken on the back of the panel itself, it is allowed to apply a temperature related correction to the power reading itself.
 
 In such a case the following formula will be used to calculate a theoretical AC power at the LV inverter output, corrected by temperature factor:
 
 Pdc_corr > (1 – Ptpv - 0,08) * Pn * I / ISTC
 
 Pac_corr> 0,9 * Pdc_corr
  where Ptpv indicates the thermal losses of the photovoltaic generator (derived from the panel technical data), while other generator related losses – optics, resistive, diode related, matching errors/defects – are typically taken to be equal to 8%.
 
 Ptpv can be determined, if the Tcel (temperature of the photovoltaic cells) is known, using the following formula:
 
 Ptpv = (Tcel - 25) * y /100
 
 or, if Tamb (ambient temperature) is known, using:
 
 Ptpv = [Tamb - 25 + (NOCT - 20) * I / 800] * y /100
 
 where:
 
 y:
is the power temperature coefficient (the parameter supplied by the panel manufacturer , for crystalline silicon panels is typically equal to 0,4 - 0,5%/°C);
 
 NOCT: is the nominal module work temperature; it is a parameter supplied by the panel manufacturer, typically equal to  40-50°C);
  I:
is the instantaneous irradiance on the panel plane (in W/m2);
 Tamb: is the ambient temperature;
 
 Tcel:
is the temperature of the cells in a photovoltaic panel; can be measured with a thermorestrictive sensor (PT100) attached to the back of the panel.
  
  Measurement operational conditions
 
 Ø
Measurements performed with the pyranometers will be recorded every 10 minutes
  Ø
Every hour an average irradiation value will be calculated as follows:
 
 Hi(Wh/m2) at the ith hour
  Ø
Hourly average irradiation less than 600 Wh/m2will be discarded
  Ø
The ambient temperature will be measured at a point which will be judged to be representative of the conditions of the entire plant and will be measured with a calibrated instrument with a margin of error inferior to 0,5oC
  Ø
For a measurement of the output AC power a Classe 1 instrument will be used
 
 Measurement results
 
 The temperature corrective factor (Ftemp)  will be calculated as follows:
 
 Ftemp= Pac_corr/ Pac= 0,9 (1 – Ptpv -0,08) / 0,765
 
 For the avoidance of doubt, the temperature corrective factor will be applied only for short-term PReffmeasurement and only for the timeframe per day in which the panel temperature exceeds 40° C.

  The Principal, or a person authorized by him, with the Contractor will have access to the plant, and Monitoring and Data Acquisition system at any time of the test to verify the proper operation and consistency of source data.
  If there are subfields with different tilt and azimuth angles, one from the other, a pyranometer for each subfield will be positioned.
  pag. 10di 12
  Measurement  of each pyranometer will be acquired by a central computing unit (PLC) together with the instantaneous Energy (ECA) measured by the GSE meter located immediately at the inverter output.
  The module temperature will also be measured with a separate temperature sensor mounted on its back, one for each subfield.
  Precise measurements of radiation, power and temperature are performed every 10 (ten) minutes.
  The result of the Provisional Acceptance Test will be positive if the following condition is achieved:
  PReff  ≥ MGPR

  Annex 2:    Corrective Maintenance Services
  Services of the Contractor
  For the duration of the contract the Operator will perform extraordinary maintenance of the PV plant. The Extraordinary maintenance includes any  activity required to repair faults and malfunctions of the plant, including the actions developed to repair and/or replacement of defective components and/or damaged.
  The Corrective Maintenance Services will not include:
  ·
the repairing or maintenance of any equipment of the System which was not within the Works under the EPC Contract;
  ·
the repairing or maintenance of any equipment beyond the Cabina di Consegna;
  ·
the repairing or maintenance of any equipment of the System due to the occurrence of a Force Majeure event;
  ·
the repairing or maintenance of any equipment in the event of, or resulting from, any alterations or repairs to the System made by the Principal without the Contractor's prior written approval.
  In the above case the repairing or maintenance of any equipment will be managed as Non-Subscription Services.
  Under the Corrective Maintenance Services,  the O&M Contractor will proceed with the replacement of the broken down sub-component with another new or reconditioned sub-component of the same quality (Photovoltaic broken modules will be replaced with new parts only).
  Corrective Maintenance Services will be carried out:
  (i)
In the event of failure of equipment.
  (ii)
During scheduled shutdown for major of overhauls or replacement of specific spare parts or devices, such as inverters/transformers.
  (iii)
Following a specific request by the Principal, with reference to a specific fault.
  (iv)
Following an action as result of the Preventive Maintenance Services.
  Corrective Maintenance Services will consist of:
  (i)

  (ii)
The removal or elimination of the defective equipment or parts, as well as their reconditioning and start up
  (iii)
Transport of the corresponding replacement parts to their installation and assembly facilities and transport from those facilities to the System Area.
  Within the framework of the repair of breakdowns, the Contractor is also authorised to fit equivalent replacement parts from other manufacturers. The replacement parts must be at least equivalent to the replaced parts from a technical point of view, and the efficiency and quality must meet the essential interests of the Principal (wide availability, MGPR and MGSO of the System).
  
 
 When replacing PV modules only panels of same brand and model shall be used. In case of unavailability the replaced modules shall fit as much as possible with the range of electrical characteristics (especially current, power decay, and the temperature coefficient) specified for the panels in the string.
  All activities of corrective maintenance must be carried out in accordance with the final  Project. In particular, if the Monitoring and Data Acquisition detects a fault in the plant or any significant decrease in the performance, the Operator shall promptly notify to the Principal of the problem by fax and / or by registered mail, reporting  when the problem occurred, the possible cause and the first steps that the Operator intends to take:
  1.           within 24 (twenty-four) hours from the detection of performance significant reduction, inspect the equipment to check the extent of the failure or the cause of the malfunction;
  2.           within 48 (forty eight) hours from the Plant inspection check the cause of the malfunction;
  3.           within 48 (forty eight) hours of the discovery of the cause of failure starting of the service extraordinary maintenance required to restore full functionality of the plant.
  Corrective Maintenance Services will also include the technical management that the Contractor shall supply to deal with accidents, incidents related to the electrical distributor and the use of the manufacturers' guarantees, supplying supporting technical data about incidents and diagnoses and carrying out technical representation with third parties. For the administrative and financial aspects of these processes, the Parties will act in a coordinated way with third parties, the Principal and/or the Financing Entity, sharing contractual information (insurance contracts, electricity supply contracts, manufacturers' guarantees) and other relevant communications with third parties, the Principal and/or Financing Entity.
  
 
 Annex 3:                         Minimum Guaranteed Performance Ratio (MGPR)
  The Parties have agreed a Minimum Guaranteed Performance Ratio MGPR equal to 78%.
  Performance ratio algorithms.
  The performance ratio(PR) is defined according to the standard CEI EN 61724 (CEI 82-15) as:
  PR

Y r

Y f
(1)
 Yfis the final PV system yield, that is the net AC energy output divided by the nominal  DC. power of the installed PV System. It represents the number of hours that the PV System would need to operate at its rated power to produce that amount of energy. The value for Yf  is calculated by equation 2:
 E

Pn

Y f
[kWh / kWp]
(2)
 where:
 Yf  = final PV System yield
 E= System net AC energy output in kWh Pn = System nominal power in kWp
 
 Yris the reference yield that is the total in-plane irradiance H divided by the PV’s reference irradiance G. It represents the equivalent number of hours necessary for the array to receive the reference irradiance. If  G  equals 1 kW/m2, then Yr is the number of peak sun-hours. The Yr defines the solar radiation resource for the PV system. It is a function of the location, orientation of the PV array, and month-to-month and year-to-year weather variability. The value for Yr is calculated by equation 3:
 H

G

Y r
[(kWh/m2) / (kW/m2)]

(3)
 
 where:
 
 Yr = reference yield
 H= total plan of array irradiance in kWh/m2
 G  = reference irradiance (usually 1 kW/m2)
 
 The performance ratio (PR) calculated by the equation (1) is Yf  divided by Yr.By normalizing with respect to irradiance, it quantifies the overall effect of losses on the rated output due to inverter efficiency and wiring mismatch, and other losses when converting from DC to AC power; PV module temperature; incomplete use of irradiance by reflection from the module front surface; soiling or snow; system down-time and component failure.
  
  1. Measurement of effective performance ratio
  On the base of the above assumptions, the effective performance ratio(PReff)) is calculated as follows:
  PReff= (Eeff* G )/ (Pn * f * H )
  Where:
  Eeff:
is the production of electric energy (in kWh) measured at the point established by the GSE at low voltage
 
 G:
is the standard irradiance value, meaning the value representing the instantaneous power of the solar radiation which hits a orthogonal plane surface in standard conditions, equal to 1000 W/ m2
 
 Pn:
is the nominal peak power (in kW) of the System in standard conditions STC
 
 f:
is a correction factor due to the panels performance degradation equal to (1- 0,0008 * Nmonths) where Nmonthsis the “number of months” from the opening of the worksite
 
 H:
is the value of the irradiation in (kWh/m2) measured under the measurement operational conditions mentioned below
 
 For the avoidance of doubts, whenever throughout the Contract, reference to the Performance Ratio of the System is made, it is clear to all Parties that the PReffis meant.
  2. Measurement operational conditions
 
 Ø
Utilized instruments: N. 2 class II pyranometers
 Ø
The exact position of the pyranometers will be decided in the Executive Project.
 Ø
Measurements performed with the pyranometers will be recorded every 10 minutes
 Ø
Every hour an average irradiation value will be calculated as follows:
  (a) Hi(kWh/m2) at the ith hour
 
 Ø
Hourly average irradiation less than 600 Wh/m2will be discarded
 Ø
At the end of each period the total irradiation will be calculated as follows:
  (b) H = ∑ Hiwhere “i” is a value from 1 to (24 * n)
 
 3. Stopping periods
  The following stopping periods will be excluded from the calculation of the PReff:
  Ø
stopping periods due to theft, vandalism, Force Majeure events, power outage of the national electricity grid, or in case of wilful misconduct or gross negligence of the Principal;
  Ø
stopping periods during which Non-Subscription Services are carried out pursuant to the O&M Contract;
