Case Studies Paul Gipe & Assoc.
Distributed (Self) Generation Schafer Systems: Taking a Gamble • Adair, Iowa, 1995 • V27, 225 kW, 480 VAC • 5.8 m/s Site • ~$300,000 • 500,000 kWh/yr • Net Metering • 75% of Load
Schafer Systems • No Tax Credit • $3,000/yr Insurance • (2X projected) • 8 yr. Payback • Abuts I-80 R-o-W • Rezoned for Height • Ice Throw to Roof • Lightning
Case Study-Altamont Pass • Peak Development 81-88 • ~5,000 Turbines • ~550 MW (Capped) • ~1 TWh/yr • Early Turbines ~20 Years Old • Aging • High Maintenance • Slated for “Repowering” Since 1998! Paul Gipe & Assoc.
Case Study-Altamont Pass • ~$2 Billion Invested • Birds Remain an Issue • Good Match w/ Load • Peak Winds Summer Evenings • When Convective Heating Greatest • USW/Kenetech Dominated • Yields Good on Later Turbines • 650-850 kWh/m2/yr Paul Gipe & Assoc.
