Optimize your power system.
Equilibrium Power's Analytics project has been acquired by HOMER Energy to improve its
tools for modeling hybrid power systems. Please see the new entity at
HOMER Energy.com
The Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewables (HOMER) is a software tool that
simplifies the task of evaluating design options for both off-grid and grid-connected power
systems for remote, stand-alone, and distributed generation (DG) applications. HOMER's
optimization and sensitivity analysis algorithms allow you to evaluate the economic and
technical feasibility of a large number of technology options and to account for variation in
technology costs and energy resource availability.
With over 46,000 users in 193 countries, HOMER provides the detailed rigor of chronological
simulation and optimization in a relatively simple and easy-to-use model. It does not
compete with the complex software packages used in utility regulatory processes, but
instead is accessible to a much larger set of users, including non-technical decision
makers. Chronological simulation is essential for modeling variable resources, such as
solar and wind power and for co-generation applications where the thermal load is variable.
HOMER’s sensitivity analysis is essential where data is uncertain.
HOMER was originally created at the National Renewable Energy Lab, a division of the U.S.
Department of Energy. We recently obtained an exclusive license to improve and
commercialize the software suite.
HOMER Energy was recently awarded a two-year grant from the National Science Foundation
to produce the next iteration of the HOMER software, which will migrate the model from a
Windows-only downloadable application to a more flexible web-based tool.
