2. Zero energy buildings
• Traditional buildings consume 40% of the total
fossil fuel energy and are significant
contributors of greenhouse gases.
• A zero-energy building, also known as a zero
net energy (ZNE) building, net-zero energy
building (NZEB), or net zero building, is a
building with zero net energy consumption,
meaning the total amount of energy used by
the building on an annual basis is approximately
equal to the amount of renewable energy
created on the site.
• Buildings that produce a surplus of energy over
the year may be called "energy-plus buildings"
and buildings that consume slightly more
energy than they produce are called "near-zero
energy buildings" or "ultra-low energy houses".

ASDA Supermarkets
“Powerstar voltage optimisation has been a major
part of our comprehensive energy efficiency
programme.
It is perhaps the simplest and most effective way
to instantly save energy and therefore we would
highly recommend Powerstar systems.”
ASDA Supermarket experience
ASDA Stores, a subsidiary of the US global giant Walmart group, has installed
Powerstar units at a vast number of their stores, contributing significantly to
energy savings and reducing their carbon footprint

12. Case study : net energy savings
5 April 2016 Copyright 2016 Ultima Capital Partners 12
The net energy savings (NES) shown are after all financing costs have been met.
The NES may be shared between the customer and the solution provider.
The solution provider structures the SPV, and arranges the financing.
In this case study the customer requested all supplies at multiple locations to have
Powerstar VO specified in the energy saving solution.
For regional clients, the EPC Framework Alliance Agreement would be an ideal mechanism
to facilitate the project management across a portfolio of assets in multiple jurisdictions.

18. Storage benefits
UPS functionality
The Virtue EV system proposed will be providing full UPS
capabilities to the load at all times while at the same time
providing charge to the EV chargers when cars are connected.
CO2 reduction
At specific times of the day, the system will be able to discharge
the stored energy to the load thus reducing the amount of kWh
the load takes from the grid and therefore reducing the CO2
emissions.
Renewable connectivity
Either at the time of the Virtue EV installation or at any time in
the future, renewable sources of energy can be connected. In
the case of Solar (PV) no inverters are needed as the PV
generated energy can be stored directly in DC
Energy cost reduction
The system will store energy during the night hours where there
is always excess electricity generation (low cost) and use it
during the day (high cost)
Smart grid integration – potential income
The System is a Virtual Power Station and is always grid tied and
therefore can participate in helping the grid balance frequency
through either Dynamic FFR or Enhanced Frequency Response.
EV charging
Will also provide fast EV charging without increasing the cabling
and load infrastructure up to 20 EV cars.

20. VIRTUE energy storage technology
Launched in February 2015, a unique technology with additional patents
pending
Save and store electricity locally, and the ability to switch to this any time
Harnesses the back EMF (Negative power) generated from the unique and
patented, Powerstar voltage optimisation system to charge a storage
medium, thus ensuring optimal power at all times
Can be integrated with renewable technology to maximise the cost
benefit of renewable installations and ensure reliable and secure power
consistently
Allows users to become a Virtual Power Station (VPS), reliably forecasting
how much power will be available at all times and making informed
decisions on when to switch to stored energy to reduce electricity costs
significantly
5 April 2016 Copyright 2016 Ultima Capital Partners 20
21. Project overview
The project between Powerstar and ASDA to commission a 3MWh
installation of Virtue into an ASDA store, and first project of its kind in the
UK
The objective is for the ASDA store to become grid independent, reduce
electricity costs and reduce carbon emissions
With collaboration from the utility EON Energy and technical verification
by Warwick University
The Virtue system can also be integrated with on-site renewable
generation at the ASDA store, combining the savings made from the
Powerstar voltage optimisation system with those generated from the
renewable energy sources
As a result, the ASDA store will be able to switch to the stored supply at
any time they wish, as well as ensuring a constant and reliable energy
supply
5 April 2016 Copyright 2016 Ultima Capital Partners 21
22. On-site renewables can be integrated with Powerstar Virtue to provide the
maximum cost benefit, this includes:
Eliminating use of inverters on renewables (when installed at the
same time as the Virtue system)
Reducing the cost of initial renewable installation by up to 30%
Increasing ROI levels of renewable installations
Storing energy generated by on-site renewables
By utilising the stored energy to disconnect
from the grid, companies can make
renewable energy reliable as the Virtue
system will always have a certain amount of
energy stored, so that when supply from
the grid is interrupted, the building can still
be fully supported.

40. Lift systems – regeneration and storage
• The Virtue Storage System is an advanced energy storage
system that allows for greater control and flexibility of
electricity usage on any commercial site.
• The Virtue system can be integrated with the lift motor in
such a way that the power generated from the
regeneration process can be captured and stored for later
use.
• This captured energy can be used to provide full UPS
capabilities to the lift, and therefore in the event of a
power outage, the lift can continue to run and safely
finish carrying passengers to floors until a point where
the system can shut down safely.
• The Virtue system will also generate revenues through
Peak shaving during peak tariff periods, TRIAD (TNUoS)
avoidance, demand side response schemes such as STOR,
FFR, EDR and EFR (Enhance Frequency Response).

The expected net cash flow advantage of deploying the
Powerstar/PV power solution versus the CAPEX funded
diesel alternative.
The net cash flow advantage is calculated as
= Powerstar + PV solution cash outflows
- Diesel solution cash outflows
A summary of the operating scenario shows the daytime
load profile, and the ability to meet load and charge the
battery storage.
Compared to the diesel alternative, the rented
Powerstar solution would be cash flow positive.

44. In 2014 sales of electric cars in
the UK grew by 167%
In early 2015 there were 1,500
public charge points in the UK
There will be 8,500 charge points
within the UK within 3-4 years
Companies looking to deploy fast to rapid EV charging stations face a major problem:
Unless the supply to the facility has a significant allowance for a large spike in
maximum demand caused by simultaneous fast charging, the facility will have to
invest in new infrastructure
Meeting the demand for EV charge points

45. Virtue EV systems can provide up to 25 kWh of energy storage that is
charged with the combination of renewable energy (optional solar panel
shelter canopies are available).
The battery module will then charge the car, either through direct DC, or
through an inverter to have an AC output (below 3% THD) without the
charger pulling any energy from the grid.
The Virtue’s on board computer manages and predicts the available
energy from renewables, so that in a scenario where the charger is aware
that it cannot provide 100% charging capability for the car – in say the
next hour – the unit will take from the grid, ensuring that maximum
demand is never exceeded.
At times where no cars are using the charging points, or if the car
batteries are full, the stored energy in the Virtue EV system can instead
be diverted to the building to provide a supply of energy.
This method can eliminate the need to upgrade e-infrastructure
