Technology Readiness First autonomous PowerBuoy tested in 2004 off State of Washington under Lockheed contract PB40-rated system operated off New Jersey during 2005-2007

� Withstood Hurricane Wilma DWADS PowerBuoy prototype tested in 2010 demonstrating stationkeeping for US Navy

� Power generation in autonomous mode to maintain station and provide power intended for a sonar-based maritime security system

LEAP PowerBuoy “mission proven” in 2011 in successful integration with US Navy’s radar-based, operational maritime security system

� Persistent power in all wave conditions, using proprietary power management system� Withstood Hurricane Irene

Key Customers and Partners to Date US Navy Lockheed Martin

PB150 – Scotland

Attained Lloyd’s Register certification of PB150 design

Ocean trials commenced April 2011, completed October 2011

Achieved average electrical power of 45 kilowatts at wave heights as low as 2 meters, exceeding expectations

Power take-off system performed well

Capacity factor higher than generally seen in other renewables, such as wind and solar

Seeking commercial partner or customer for next phase

Competitive Advantages• PowerBuoy is based on ocean-going buoys, primarily below sea surface• Electronic “tuning” capability optimizes power in dynamic wave conditions• PowerBuoy sends grid-ready electrical power to shore, not pumped water• Same PowerBuoy technology provides power for autonomous deep-sea

applications and for grid-connected utility markets• Power take-off is direct drive, not hydraulics-based• Demonstrated robustness in hurricanes, winter storms, tsunamis• Strong partners: Mitsui (Japan), Lockheed (US), US Navy, PNGC Power (US),

Iberdrola (Spain)• Third party commercial validation: environmental assessments, grid connection,

PB150• PowerBuoy produces power efficiently regardless of direction of incoming waves• PowerBuoy open architecture can use different PTO’s; undersea substation pod

serves all energy devices• Strong capital base, cash balances

• Certification by Lloyd’s Register of PB150 structure and mooring system

• Independent Environmental Assessments in Hawaii under direction of US Navy, and by US DoE for Reedsport, Oregon, project; both resulted in “Finding of No Significant Impact” – highest rating

• Grid connection certified by Intertek (IEEE and UL standards)

• PowerBuoys insured by Lloyd’s syndicates for over 13 years for property loss and third party liability

• US DoE has assessed PowerBuoy PB150 as highest-rated wave energy system for commercial readiness (TRL 7-8)

Third Party Commercial Validation

OPT’s technology has received more testing & validation by independent parties than any other wave energy company
