Watch the video, download the white paper, or talk to an expert to explore how UL advisory professionals can help. Whether designing hybrid microgrids or distributed generation systems, our software solutions: Combine engineering and economics in one powerful model Allow users to quickly and efficiently determine least-cost options Simulate real-world performance and deliver a choice of optimized design Consider geographic-specific criteria and risks, such as fuel price changes, load growth, accelerated battery degradation and changing weather patterns. The HOMER Pro® Microgrid software by HOMER Energy is the global standard for optimizing microgrid design in all sectors, from village power and island utilities to grid-connected campuses and military bases. Originally developed at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and enhanced and distributed by HOMER Energy, HOMER (Hybrid Optimization Model for Multiple Energy Resources) nests three powerful tools in one software product, so that engineering and economics work side by side. Module packs are designed to help you find the right set of modules for your application quickly. With the exception of the Expert Package, which includes every module. 1. Advanced Off-Grid : Includes the 5 most common modules required for more advanced assessment of off-grid microgrid : Biomass, Hydro, Advanced Load, Advanced Storage & Multi-Year. 2. Advanced On-Grid : Includes the 5 most common modules required for accurate modeling of grid-connected systems: Advanced Grid, Advanced Load, Advanced Storage, Multi-Year & Combined Heat and Power. 3. Expert Package : HOMER Pro can be customized with up to all 9 individual modules to meet your specific modeling needs: Biomass, Hydro, Combined Heat & Power, Advanced Load, Advanced Grid, Hydrogen, Advanced Storage, Multi-Year, MATLAB Link HOMER Grid combines engineering and economics to rapidly perform complex calculations enabling you to compare design outcomes and consider options for minimizing project risk and reducing energy expenditures.
