• FlexGen Power Systems (FPS) develops, manufactures, and services innovative power products for oil & gas operators in drilling, production power, and offshore applications

• Our core technology and IP combine traditional combustion power generation with a product called a Solid State Generator (SSG), which combines software, high efficiency power conversion, and advanced energy storage

• FlexGen’s SSG products have been fielded globally for 5+ years in the U.S. military and have reduced generator fuel consumption by 52% and maintenance by over 80%. Based on those results, FPS’ technology is now being integrated into every generator in the military inventory

• Our first three super independent customers estimate that our technology will deliver $200 - $450M in addressable annual cost savings in equipment CAPEX, fuel consumption, maintenance, and emissions, plus dramatically improved power quality and reliability, on every drill rig and production well

• FPS recently completed a $25.5mm Series A round including Altira, GE, and Caterpillar to scale its technology in oil & gas and industrial power markets globally

• FlexGen’s SSG can deliver meaningful enterprise-wide addressable annual cost savings immediately to current operations and, as activity levels return to normal:

Additional Benefits: • 15-45% emissions reductions on every rig and genset • Low risk implementation and positive cash flow to the operator on Day 1

• FPS equipment is plug-and-play in the field (no significant change to standard operating procedures and minimal commissioning time)

• FPS leases equipment at cash flow positive day rates from Day 1

• Diesel and gas generator and gas turbine power systems are highly inefficient

• Generation is sized for peak loads, load steps, and motor inrush currents

• Generators and turbines therefore operate at low load factors, typically 10-30% of rated capacity and experience exponentially higher fuel consumption, maintenance, and emissions

• The SSG combines advanced energy storage, high efficiency power electronics, and adaptive system and component level software controls to optimize power system performance, capital, and operating cost

• The SSG charges and discharges automatically and instantaneously to absorb load variability, allowing the generators to ramp smoothly and efficiently regardless of load demand

• SSG is a modular, scalable, and provides voltage and frequency support to the AC or DC bus in generator power systems from 3kW-4MW

Alternator Radiator Control Engine SSG

Retrofitted SSG Fully-Optimized SSG Set

Capital Cost •10-30% lower cost •Fewer, smaller gensets •Downstream rotating equipment downsizing

•20-40% lower cost •Shared cooling, sheet metal, scale manufacturing efficiencies

Fuel •15-35% savings •Fewer, smaller gensets at higher average load

•20-40% savings •Optimized genset control for transients

Maintenance •10-25% savings •Fewer, smaller gensets at higher average load •No block loading

•15-35% savings •Continuous vs. prime power maintenance savings (oil, turbos, starters, filters, emissions hardware)

Emissions •10-15% savings •Fewer, smaller gensets at higher average load •No block loading

•15-25% savings •Optimized emissions controls for transients

Physical •Difficult for offshore, marine applications •Decreased overall genset mass & volume for given power rating

Potential Genset Savings

•NA •Cooling, alternator sizing,(lower Var), fuel injection, emissions treatment, starter battery, hp/RPM tradeoff (gearbox), VSG, weight & dimensions
