Mac & Leslie McQuown

Proprietors

After earning a mechanical engineering degree at Northwestern University, a Harvard M.B.A., and serving as an officer in the navy, Mac embarked on a career in banking and finance in New York. He joined Wells Fargo in San Francisco in 1964, where he and colleagues created the first stock index fund. He subsequently founded and built several entrepreneurial businesses.

Mac began collecting wine in 1965. With his friend Dick Graff, the legendary winemaker, he co-founded the Chalone Wine Group in 1970, serving on its board for twenty-five years. In 1980 he co-founded Carmenet Winery and began an enduring friendship with Jeff Baker, now Stone Edge Farm’s winemaker.

Mac credits his wife, Leslie, with providing Stone Edge Farm’s overarching aesthetic vision. Her eye for design informs the property’s architecture and landscaping, with its outdoor rooms, inviting courtyards, and art pieces.

Mega Watt scale systems for large wind and solar farms (19 ft by 7 ft)

Powered by 120 or 220 volts

  • Fully automated
  • Computer controlled access with 24 hour leak monitoring
  • Proprietary flow control system
  • Internal compressor: 5,700 psi ready
  • On board booster: 15,000 psi capacity *additional plumbing and vessels required for high psi levels.
  • J2600 Certified Nozzle, compatible with all fuel cell vehicles
  • Scalable: 6 kilograms max storage space
  • Remote diagnostics capable

Each 10 stack system will consume approximately 336 KW and produce approximately 168 kilograms per day. Three of these units combined would consume just over 1 Mega watt of power and produce approximately 504 Kilograms of H2 per 24 hour day

Hydrogen station on

a movable platform.

Producing Hydrogen from 4 KG , 8KG, and 12 KG per day from water and electricity, these models can be linked together to accommodate any demand for onsite hydrogen production and can utilize renewable electricity.

The SHFA appliance is encased in a stainless steel cabinet housing which protects all hoses, and the J2600 dispensing nozzle. The unit has multiple key locked entry points for servicing and dispensing. Safety diagnostics are ran continuously.

A small step to market entry for home refueling, hub connectors and forklifts

Adding a hydrogen generator to the fueling station for a complete packaged system can produce, purify, compress, store and dispense enough Hydrogen in 24 hours for one car or two fork lifts.

Since 1990, DC Systems has been a leading developer of Smart Grid software solutions for utility companies, power generators, and large energy users. We put intelligence where it is needed—in the field or substation—while centralizing configuration, administration, and monitoring at the enterprise level. Our optimized architecture allows for greater flexibility, control, and responsiveness.

The Department of Energy defines a MicroGrid as "a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources (DER) with clearly defined electrical boundaries that acts as a single, controllable entity with respect to the grid [and can] connect and disconnect from the grid to operate in both grid-connected or island mode."

http://energy.gov/sites/prod/files/Microgrid%20Workshop%20Report%20August%202011.pdf

Nanogrids are small microgrids, typically serving a single building or a single load.

Navigant Research has developed its own definition of a nanogrid as being 100 kW for grid-tied systems and 5 kW for remote systems not interconnected with a utility grid.

A smart grid is a modernized electrical grid that uses analog or digital information and communications technology to gather and act on information - such as information about the behaviors of suppliers and consumers - to improve the efficiency, reliability, economics, and sustainability of the production and distribution of electricity.

Beta Phase Components:

The primary directive of the Microgrid project is to reduce the carbon footprint of the Stone Edge Farm property as well as establish a degree of energy independence.

This goal is to be the fundamental design consideration at all times. This goal shall be used for guidance when determining system changes, equipment choices, and implementation of work efforts.

It is the intent of the parties involved to see how far below zero a 16 acre urban farm can reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Corollary #2

You will not use cost as your first criteria in your decision making process.

"Money is like manure; it's not worth a thing unless it's spread around encouraging young things to grow." -Thornton Wilder

Think of it this way: Money is like manure, left in a pile it begins to stink. If you spread manure around, it makes things grow.

Corollary #1

Seek out and find any and all technologies to accomplish this goal.

Guiding principals:

1. Failure is the crucible of success.

2. Do not fear failure, embrace it.

3. We may have to do some things twice, maybe even a third time.

3 Major Investor Owned Utilities (IOUs) required to submit plans for future Distributed Energy Generation by July 1, 2015

Distributed Energy Resource Providers (DERP)

And Trading Utilities

California ISO, the transmission authority that can move power long distances and also operates a marketplace for commercial generators to sell their power to the utilities throughout the state, has a new rule that private small generation owners can now “aggregate” and sell their power. We are building software and infrastructure to let us experiment with many modes of power trading, including ancillary services and using storage to deliver a quantity of reliable, dispatchable renewable power instantly on demand.
