HOMER Pro
HOMER® Pro provides insight into the complexities and tradeoffs of designing cost-effective, reliable microgrids or distributed energy resources that combine conventional and renewable energy, storage and load management. Through the simulation of engineering and economic feasibility in a single run, you can make informed decisions and design the least-cost system with confidence. HOMER Pro enables the optimization of standalone hybrid microgrid applications in all sectors—from village power to island utilities.
HOMER Grid
HOMER® Grid optimizes the value of behind-the-meter, distributed energy systems anywhere in the word, especially when demand charges, resilience, and energy arbitrage matter. With HOMER Grid, you can intelligently reduce the peak power you buy from the utility each month, determine the best mix of resources for the least-cost solution, design a system with the highest possible rate of return, and demonstrate the value of your behind-the-meter grid-connected distributed generation systems.
HOMER Front
HOMER® Front helps you maximize return on utility-scale energy storage systems with or without solar and wind. Whether you are participating in merchant energy markets or contracted with a power purchase agreement, HOMER Front performs techno-economic analysis of numerous complex variables to provide critical, actionable insights and strategies that help you determine the most efficient hybrid power system.
