Connection Impact Assessment Disclaimer This Connection Impact Assessment (“CIA”) report dated July 24, 2014, has been prepared for the sole purpose of the impact of the proposed Distributed Generation connection at 700 Ormont Drive, North York, M9L 2W6, under the Feed-in Tariff program on the Toronto Hydro distribution system. The technical review addresses the protection of Toronto Hydro's facilities. The Generator should satisfy itself any requirement for the protection of its own equipment and facilities. Modifications to the incoming supply arrangement, as necessary, need to comply with the following specification in the Conditions of Service: “Toronto Hydro Requirements for Design and Construction of Customer-Owned Substation High Voltage Substations”. It is the Generator‟s responsibility to ensure that all requirements are met. Additional requirements may be necessary to address unique situations, and the Generator facility will be advised of any additional requirements at the appropriate final stage. Toronto Hydro accepts no responsibility or liability for any of the information provided in this report. Meeting these requirements does not necessarily constitute an acceptable facility design. Toronto Hydro reserves the right to amend this report and will use its best efforts to advise any such change. It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that the latest version of this report is used. Notes: a) This report considers the issues related to the Toronto Hydro distribution system. The Generator is responsible for designing, commissioning, operating and maintaining the embedded generation facility in accordance with good utility practice. The interface protection design and settings will be reviewed during the implementation phase of the project, as required. b) This CIA report was performed by Toronto Hydro using Toronto Hydro‟s Conditions of Service and based on the system conditions at the time the CIA was performed under the assumptions and key project connection data contained in this CIA report. c) Any future modifications to the Conditions of Service and/or the key project connection data could affect the CIA results, and a new CIA may need to be performed at the Generator‟s expense. d) Any material revisions to the design, planned equipment or plans for the embedded generation facility shall be filed with Toronto Hydro and a new CIA will be prepared as per Distribution System Code (DSC) section 6.2.15. e) This report is valid for a period of twelve months.

File: 700 ORMONT DR JULY 24 2014 804-14 ULLTRA™ High Performance Transformers Not all Energy Efficient Transformers are created equal ULLTRA High Performance transformers are designed to deliver more energy savings than any other transformer on the market. The result is a high performing transformer that offers the highest efficiency in the industry under either linear or non-linear loading and maintains these high efficiency levels at not only 35% loading but over a wide load range. Although other energy efficient transformers on the market may meet new, more demanding standards such as NEMA Premium and CSL3, these standards only restrict losses under linear loading and at 35% load levels. When it comes to higher load levels and non-linear loading, other transformers on the market can’t offer the same high efficiencies under these conditions. ULLTRA High Performance transformers actually exceed NEMA Premium efficiency levels at their peak performance loading of 50%. Quicker PAYBACK PERIOD Applications A perfect solution for any application where energy efficiency and lower life cycle costs are critical – K-12 and Higher Education, Government, Healthcare, Commercial, Industrial and LEED buildings. Applications that expect heavier loads such as Data Centers, Solar and other Alternative Energy projects, will benefit from ULLTRA Series Transformers ability to maximize savings under ANY load and for ANY load profile. Mirus offers eVALUATOR™, a proprietary and complimentary payback analysis tool for transformers. By entering some simple data into the program it calculates accurate payback and energy savings and takes into account the effects of harmonics created by non-linear loading. ULLTRA improves paybacks by allowing for ‘Right Sizing’. Right Sizing takes into account that a transformer designed to maintain high efficiencies under heavy and non-linear loading can be significantly smaller than one optimized for light loading. The transformer can be sized to operate at heavier load levels, where it is better utilized, without sacrificing energy efficiency. This not only saves energy and the associated operating costs, but also saves on initial costs. In addition, smaller transformers require less materials, such as steel and copper, providing further environmental benefit. Paybacks are particularly good in applications where both light and heavy loading can be expected. For example, transformers used for alternative energy sources, such as Solar Power, will be nearly fully loaded during peak daylight hours but very lightly loaded at night. Often incentives associated with Utility purchase agreements include much higher rates for the electricity they buy, further justifying ULLTRA’s use. Real-world Tested. REAL-WORLD PERFORMANCE Like all of Mirus’ products, ULLTRA High Performance Transformers undergo rigorous real-world tests in Mirus’ own Harmonics & Energy Lab. Load profiles are matched to real-world conditions. With the largest non-linear load bank in the industry, Mirus can test transformers up to 225 kVA under full non-linear load conditions to ensure the promised energy savings are realized. International Inc. Features Mirus-engineered GREEN DESIGN • Highest efficiencies in the industry at any load profile and at all load levels To maximize efficiencies at any load level or load profile, Mirus’ ULLTRA High Performance Transformers feature a unique core configuration that substantially reduces the core losses without having to lower flux density and provides both low core losses and copper losses. • Lowest Life Cycle Costs for best paybacks and improved bottom line • H1E improves reliability by reducing voltage distortion • Exceeds CSL-3 and NEMA Premium requirements in a wider load range • Meets NEMA TP-1 efficiencies under non-linear loading • Lower losses minimize energy waste and protect the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions • Energy savings are realized even during peak load conditions when environmental impact is greatest • Contributes to LEED (Leadership in Energy Efficient Design) in Energy & Atmosphere and Innovation & Design categories • Performance validated through linear and non-linear load testing in Mirus’ Harmonics & Energy Lab • Inrush magnetization currents are the lowest in the industry • Lower audible noise levels: 3dB to 5dB below NEMA ST-20 requirements Other design features include: lower audible noise well below standard limits and much lower inrush currents. Since ULLTRA Series do not need to be oversized to reach high K-Ratings, its unique core design allows for smaller cores with even lower inrush currents than standard transformers. ULLTRA™ – Ultra Low Loss TRAnsformer • Optimized for any load level making ULLTRA the only transformer ideally suited for both light or heavy loading conditions • Linear load losses are a full 30% lower than the already low levels defined by NEMA TP-1 • Efficiencies meet NEMA Premium levels at the mandated 35% loading and even exceed these levels at the transformer’s peak design loading of 50% • Harmonic losses are also reduced to ensure efficiencies meet NEMA TP-1 requirements even under ‘real world’ non-linear loading • Inrush currents (< 8x rated) and audible noise (3dB lower than standard) are extremely low • Ideal for Solar Power or other applications where transformer loading varies widely and electricity rates are high ULLTRA-H1E™ – Harmonic Mitigating Transformer In applications where non-linear loading is expected to be severe, the ULLTRA-H1E combines the proven harmonic mitigating properties of Mirus’ Harmony™ HMT line with superior energy efficiency, low inrush and low audible noise found in the ULLTRA design. • Voltage distortion (flat-topping) is minimized by cancelling zero sequence fluxes within the secondary windings and eliminating circulating currents in the primary windings • Treats triplen harmonics (3rd and 9th) within the transformer and 5th and 7th upstream • The highest efficiency harmonic mitigating transformer from the company that first introduced HMT’s to the market in the early 1990’s 75kVA Transformer Comparison under Linear Load ULLTRAtm Series Efficiency Sizes Primary Style Weight lbs [kg] 15 30 45 75 112.5 150 225 300 500 750 MT2 MT2 MT3 MT3 MT4 MT4 LT1 LT2 LT3 LT3 250 [115] 375 [170] 500 [227] 850 [386] 1000 [454] 1200 [544] 1800 [820] 2500 [1135] 3175 [1440] 4250 [1928] kVA Case Approximate Values Linear 35% Load* 50% Load 97.90% 98.25% 98.39% 98.60% 98.74% 98.81% 98.95% 99.00% 99.09% 99.16% 97.96% 98.35% 98.45% 98.65% 98.82% 98.85% 99.00% 99.07% 99.20% 99.28% * NEMA Premium & CSL3 specs Impedance K-13 Non-Linear No-Load 50% Load** Losses (W) 97.0% 97.5% 97.7% 98.0% 98.2% 98.3% 98.5% 98.6% 98.7% 98.8% 75 115 150 225 320 400 560 710 1100 1550 ULLTRA H1E Zero Sequence Zo Xo 3 Phase Short Circuit <0.95% <0.95% <0.95% <0.95% <0.95% <0.95% <1.0% <1.0% <1.5% <2.0% <0.3% <0.3% <0.3% <0.3% <0.3% <0.3% <0.5% <0.5% <0.5% <1.0% 2.0-3.5% 2.0-3.5% 2.0-3.5% 2.0-3.5% 2.5-5.0% 2.5-5.0% 3.0-6.0% 3.0-6.0% 4.5-7.0% 5.0-8.0% ** Equivalent to NEMA TP-1 'MT' Style Enclosure 'LT' Style Enclosure W W D D General Specifications: Primary 3-Phase, 3 wire, 60Hz Secondary 3-Phase, 4-wire, 60Hz Operating Temp.
