HOMER Grid
HOMER Grid is a specialized version of HOMER software designed for grid-connected hybrid energy systems. While HOMER Pro focuses on off-grid and microgrid scenarios, HOMER Grid is tailored to help commercial and industrial facilities reduce electricity costs, improve resilience, and integrate renewables with the existing utility grid.
š Core Capabilities of HOMER Grid
- Tariff Modeling: Simulates complex utility rate structures (time-of-use, demand charges, net metering).
- Hybrid System Design: Models solar PV, batteries, generators, and grid imports/exports.
- Demand Charge Reduction: Optimizes battery dispatch to lower peak demand costs.
- Resilience Analysis: Evaluates backup power strategies during grid outages.
- Financial Metrics: Calculates ROI, Net Present Cost (NPC), and Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE).
- Sensitivity Analysis: Tests scenarios with varying fuel prices, tariffs, or component costs.
