Description
HOMER Energy's HOMER Pro® microgrid software is the global standard for optimizing microgrid design across sectors, from village power and island utilities to grid-connected campuses and military bases.
Application in education
HOMER examines all possible combinations of system types in a single run and then sorts the systems according to the chosen optimization variable.
Functionalities
- HOMER is a simulation model.
- HOMER will attempt to simulate a workable system for all possible equipment combinations you wish to consider.
- Depending on how you configure your problem, HOMER can simulate hundreds or even thousands of systems.
- HOMER simulates the operation of a hybrid microgrid over an entire year, in time steps of one minute to one hour.
Advantages
- HOMER Pro can be customized with up to 9 individual modules to meet your specific modeling needs
- HOMER makes it easy to compare thousands of possibilities in a single run. This allows you to see the impact of variables that are outside your control, such as wind speed, fuel costs, etc., and understand how the system works.
