HOMER Energy Modeling Software 56

    HOMER (Hybrid Optimization of Multiple Energy Resources) is a software tool that helps design and optimize hybrid power systems, such as microgrids, distributed generation, and grid-connected systems. HOMER can simulate the operation and economics of different combinations of renewable and conventional energy sources, storage devices, and load management strategies. HOMER can also perform sensitivity analysis to evaluate the impact of uncertain variables, such as fuel prices, wind speed, solar radiation, and load growth.

    HOMER was originally developed at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in the United States, and has been used by more than 250,000 energy professionals in over 190 countries. HOMER is now distributed and enhanced by UL Solutions, a global leader in safety science and engineering services. HOMER has several versions and modules that cater to different needs and applications of hybrid power system design. Some of the main products are:
