2. Overview of the Global Opportunity Store Low Cost Time of Use (TOU) Grid Energy to Substantially Reduce Peak Rate Grid Electricity Expense Multiple Tariff (variable rate) Meters “Since it is not generally possible to store electricity during a period of low demand for use during a period of high demand, costs will vary significantly depending on the time of day”. Moving Out… And Moving In… Quote from Wikipedia: “The Electricity Meter” 2
3. 3 Example of Time of Use (TOU) Rate Impact Cost Per KWH Peak vs. Off-Peak Delta of: $0.0878 63% Delta of: $0.1011 64% Delta of: $0.0764 60%
4. 4 The Solution ArcAngel Intelligent Power Controller (AIPC™) Electrical grid power is intelligently managed to significantly reduce “highest cost per hour” consumption cost without having to change the consumers power consumption habits or routines. The AIPC is easily installed by a licensed electrician between the electrical service providers meter and the electrical breaker panel(s). The AIPC can be linked together in modules to expand as the need requires.
5. 5 The AIPC™ Achieves >100% ROI in just a few months of operation! When grid power cost per hour is lowest(i.e. middle of the night) the AIPC stores energy. When grid power cost is highest the AIPC releases low cost energy it previously stored. Energy taken from the AIPC is always normalized to the lowest possible cost. To further minimize commercial grid power cost the AIPC can concurrently integrate power produced by alternate sources such as wind & solar further accelerating its ROI.
8. 8 SmartGrid+™Multi-Port Power Electronic Interface for Renewable Energy Sources The AIPC intelligently utilizes incoming energy from multiple grid alternative sources while supplying a seamless output of clean regulated power. The AIPC combines and “normalizes” multiple incoming energy source alternatives along with grid power.
9. 9 Benefits to the Grid Very “Grid friendly” Minimizes peak demand spikes on the grid Ideal for high power, short demand applications to buffer the impact between them and the grid supply (i.e., rapid recharge of electric vehicles) Helps to significantly reduce carbon pollution Peak period + high demand = more use of traditional carbon producing generation Off peak grid power comes from traditional plants running at lower volumes which reduces pollution plus alternate sources such as wind, water, etc. Better for the grid, better for the environment
11. 11 ArcAngel Intelligent Power Controller (AIPC™) Roll-Out 4+ years of extensive R&D The AIPC has completed its final lab testing requirements and will begin live field Beta test trials in late Q1 of 2010. Q1 Field testing trial markets studies are as follows: Information technology Oil and gas production Food service / retail Telecommunications Small to medium commercial office properties Trial results will produce undeniable ROI performance data. Consumers will be able to easily project their own ROI based upon the benchmark data gathered during the live field trials. Outsourced Production and Supply – Local 3rd party production and inventory management of the AIPC has been established and can ramp up production rapidly to meet demand.
12. 12 Investment Opportunity ArcAngel Technologies, Inc. is seeking to raise up to $3 million of growth capital to complete production prototypes, conduct field trials, documentation and certification and launch commercialization of its’ revolutionary AIPC (ArcAngel Intelligent Power Controller). Additionally, the funding will allow AAT to establish operating and production infrastructure, establish key alliance partners and pre-sale feasibility studies with prospects and launch its’ sales & marketing campaign to achieve rapid global sales growth.

14. AAT has filed and licensed numerous patents for IP in control systems and power management systems that will minimize peak grid power consumption resulting in user utility cost savings of up to 30% per month.
15. AAT has exclusive agreements and has been working closely with The University of Texas research teams to commercialize IP in these areas that have been in development for over 4 years.
16. The State of Texas through UTA is a strategic shareholder & partner of the company.
17. The University of Texas at Arlington is classified as a Research University/High Activity by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. UT Arlington’s research expenditures surpassed $66 million in 2007-08. Since 2003, faculty disclosures of intellectual property have increased from 26 to 60 and patents filed from 15 to 34.
