1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Project Overview
K2 Wind Ontario Inc., in its capacity as general partner of K2 Wind Ontario Limited Partnership
(the Proponent or K2 Wind), is proposing to develop, construct and operate the K2 Wind Power
Project (the Project) in the Township of Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh (Township of ACW) north
of Goderich within the County of Huron, Ontario. The Proponent is a limited partnership formed
under the Limited Partnerships Act (Ontario), with K2 Wind Ontario Inc. as general partner and
CP K2 Holdings Inc. (an affiliate of Capital Power Corporation), Samsung Renewable Energy
Inc., and Pattern K2 LP Holdings LP (an affiliate of Pattern Renewable Holdings Canada ULC),
as limited partners. The Project would supply approximately 270 megawatts (MW) of electricity
to the Ontario power grid. The development of the Project would help the province of Ontario
meet its goal of increasing the proportion of electricity generated from renewable sources. The
Project is subject to Ontario Regulation 359/09 – Renewable Energy Approvals under Part V.0.1
of the Environmental Protection Act (O. Reg. 359/09).
Key Project components would consist of up to 140 wind turbines, electrical collection and
communications systems including a transmission line, a transformer station, a substation, an
operation and maintenance building, meteorological towers, access roads, and temporary
construction and laydown areas.
The Proponent has elected to assess and seek approval for some alternative Project
configurations. The Renewable Energy Approval (REA) application process will consider two
potential transmission line voltages (138 kV vs. 230 kV), two potential transmission line routes,
and several alternate access road and collector line alignments. Final selection of the sites to be
used would be based on the results of consultation activities, detailed design / engineering
work, and the conditions experienced during construction.
The Proponent retained Stantec Consulting Ltd., SENES Consultants Limited, and AMEC
Environment & Infrastructure, a division of AMEC Americas Limited (AMEC) to assist in the
preparation of the REA application with input from Timmins Martelle Heritage Consultants Inc.,
Selde Corporation and Zephyr North Canada.
1.2 Report Requirements
The purpose of the Wind Turbine Specifications Report is to provide specific technical
information regarding the wind turbines proposed to be used for the Project.
The Wind Turbine Specifications Report has been prepared in accordance with Item 14, Table 1
of O. Reg. 359/09 and in consideration of the Ministry of the Environment’s (MOE’s) guidance
document Technical Guide to Renewable Energy Approvals.
The following table provides the requirements of the Wind Turbine Specifications Report as
prescribed in O. Reg. 359/09 and the relevant sections where it can be found within this
document.

2.0 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
2.1 Siemens SWT-2.3 Wind Turbine
The Project includes approximately 140 Siemens SWT-2.3 wind turbines. A summary of the
basic specifications of the turbine model is provided in Table 2.1 below. A complete description
of the general specifications for this turbine model is found in the manufacturer’s brochure
provided as Appendix A.

>7 m/s – 106.0 dBA
Each wind turbine consists of eight key components:
• concrete tower foundation;

• five steel tower sections;
• nacelle (comprised of gearbox, electrical generator, and housing);
• three rotor blades;
• hub (the structure to where the blades attach);
• power convertor;
• padmount transformer at the base of the tower; and
• electrical wiring and grounding.
Page 3
November 2012
The tower would be supported by a concrete foundation, approximately 3 m deep, depending

upon subsurface conditions. The turbine tower has internal ascent and direct access to the yaw
system and nacelle. It is equipped with platforms and internal electric lighting. The tower height
for the Siemens SWT-2.3 turbine is 99.5 m.
The tower supports the nacelle which is accessible via a hatch in the floor and houses the main
components of the wind turbine including:
• Main bearing;
• Main shaft;
• Gearbox;
• Brake disc;
• Coupling;
• Generator;
• Service crane;
• Yaw ring;
• Yaw gear;
• Nacelle bedplate;
• Oil filter;
• Canopy; and
• Generator fan.
The rotor hub is cast in nodular cast iron and is fitted to the main shaft with a flange connection.
The hub is sufficiently large to provide a comfortable working environment for two service
technicians during maintenance of the blade roots and pitch bearings from inside the structure.
The Siemens SWT-2.3 turbine uses unique features such as NetConverter® power conversion
system which allows generator operation at variable speed, frequency and voltage while
supplying power at a constant frequency and voltage to the MV transformer. The 101 m rotor
supports three blades and a hub. Each blade is constructed of fibreglass reinforced epoxy in
Siemens’ proprietary IntegralBlade® manufacturing process. The blades are 49 m in length.
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.
Electrical wiring includes a 690 V cable which runs down the turbine tower to the padmount
transformer located adjacent to the tower base. A padmount transformer, located adjacent to
the base of each wind turbine, is required to transform the electricity created in the nacelle to a
standard operating power line voltage (i.e. 690 V to 34.5 kV). The converter is also located at
the base of the turbine and controls the energy conversion in the generator by feeding power to
and from the grid. From the padmount transformer, underground 34.5 kV collector lines would
carry the electricity from the turbines to the collector line system.

Turbine tower lighting would be in accordance with Transport Canada Regulations and
Standards as described in the Design and Operations Report.
2.2 Acoustic Emissions Data
The Siemens SWT-2.3 wind-powered turbines are rated to operate between 1.824 and
2.300 MW. The maximum overall sound power rating of the highest rated turbines (2.300 MW)
is 106.0 dBA. Information regarding the acoustic emissions of the turbine, including the overall
sound power level, measurement uncertainty value, octave-band sound power levels, and
tonality and tonal audibility, is available in the manufacturer specifications provided in
Appendix A.

was synchronized with the turbine computer time.
The turbine type is SWT-2.3-101 with turbine ID no. 230x-xxxx.
The hub height wind speed range from 4.6 m/s - 14.0 m/s measured as 10 sec average with the
nacelle anemometer, and the power output from 430 kW - 2300 kW.
10 sec average non acoustic measurements are shown in appendix 1.
The measurement fulfils IEC61400-11:2002 with following exceptions:

4 Analyses of Tonality
4.1 Info
Txxx, ID no. 23xx-xxxx.
4.1.1 Tonal analysis method

The tonal analysis presented in this report is performed according to the L70 method as described in
IEC 61400-11:2002.
Due to air absorption, different level of masking noise etc. tonal analysis in the reference position is
not comparable with tonality analysis in the far field.
Wind speeds in the tonal analysis are given at 10 m height.
4.2 Tonal analysis at 6 m/s

The 2 periods of 1 minute with averaged wind speeds closest to 6 m/s are used for this tonal analysis.
The twelve 10 sec. FFT spectra are shown in Figure 4.1 below.
