  2. Assessment of the Pros and Cons of Microgrids and Grid Extensions for Obtaining Reliable Access to Power

  3. Case Study – Vacherie Ranch

  4. Case Study – Vacherie Ranch West Sonoma County, CA

  5. Case Study – Vacherie Ranch Powered by Diesel

  6. Case Study – Vacherie Ranch Powered by Diesel ▪ Maintain fuel supply ▪ Frequent maintenance & downtime ▪ Produces dirty exhaust ▪ Noisy operation

  7. Case Study – Vacherie Ranch Power Options ▪ Natural Gas Generator

  8. Case Study – Vacherie Ranch Power Options ▪ Natural Gas Generator ▪ Quieter & Cleaner ▪ Maintenance ▪ Fuel Supply

  9. Case Study – Vacherie Ranch Power Options ▪ Natural Gas Generator ▪ Transmission lines

  10. Case Study – Vacherie Ranch Power Options ▪ Natural Gas Generator ▪ Transmission lines ▪ Underground or trench ▪ > 3 poles ▪ Hills + soil issues

  14. Case Study – Vacherie Ranch Power Options ▪ Natural Gas Generator ▪ Transmission lines ▪ Microgrid ▪ Solar + Storage ▪ Lower lifetime costs ▪ ITC + MACRS ▪ Clean & quiet

  15. Case Study – Vacherie Ranch Power Options ▪ Natural Gas Generator ▪ Transmission lines ▪ Microgrid ▪ Solar + Storage ▪ Lower lifetime costs ▪ ITC + MACRS ▪ Clean & quiet

  16. Case Study – Vacherie Ranch Microgrid ▪ Pre-fabbed offsite ▪ Trucked to ranch ▪ Commissioned on-site

  17. Case Study – Vacherie Ranch Microgrid ▪ Partner with Pure Power Solutions ▪ SimpliPhi + Outback Inside

  18. Economics of Poles vs. Containers

  19. Economics of Poles vs. Containers 3 or more poles → On -site generation

  20. Economics of Poles vs. Containers 3 or more poles → On -site generation Gas vs. Renewables:

  21. Economics of Poles vs. Containers 3 or more poles → On -site generation Gas vs. Renewables: ▪ Fuel source costs ▪ Fuel supply line ▪ Renewables incentives

  22. Economics of Poles vs. Containers 3 or more poles → On -site generation Gas vs. Renewables: ▪ Fuel source costs ▪ Fuel supply line ▪ Renewables incentives ▪ Federal ITC + MACRS ▪ There is an ROI
