There’s no such thing as a cookie-cutter microgrid design. The number of inputs and design choices can be staggering. HOMER Software is the best recognized tool on the planet for microgrid design, and this free lecture will get you up and running on HOMER software. Register for the free lecture here.

Since its release, the HOMER software has been downloaded by over 100,000 people in 193 countries. This 1.5-hour free lecture shows you how to use HOMER software to simulate microgrid performance. It includes a free 30-day trial of HOMER foftware and a walk-through of several real examples.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• HOMER’s simulation-optimization-sensitivity paradigm for microgrid decision making and design
• How to feel at home using the HOMER interface
• A step-by-step approach to running a complete analysis in HOMER

About HOMER Energy

HOMER Energy LLC is a Boulder, Colorado based company incorporated in 2009 to commercialize the HOMER® Hybrid Optimization of Mutiple Energy Resources (HOMER) model, which was developed by the National Renewable Energy Lab, a division of the U.S. Department of Energy. HOMER Energy’s primary focus is the continuing development, distribution, and support of HOMER. The company also provides training, services, and community tools to professionals, researchers, and enthusiasts in the energy industry who desire to analyze and optimize distributed power systems and systems that incorporate high penetrations of renewable energy sources.

The HOMER Energy principles have been working with economic and engineering optimization of microgrids for over 2 decades. HOMER Energy’s team includes the economist and engineer who originally created the HOMER software while at NREL, along with professional managers, analysts and other business professionals with experience in entrepreneurial ventures, rpower systems, and renewable energy. Our collective vision is to empower people around the world with tools, services, and information in order to accelerate the adoption of renewable and distributed energy sources.

In addition to the HOMER software, HOMER Energy offers additional services such as web-based and in person training and assistance in the use of HOMER. We also customize the software for novel problems or types of equipment. In addition we provide a range of consulting services related to the policies, economics, and technologies of renewable and distributed power.

Since its release, the HOMER software has been downloaded by over 100,000 people in 193 countries. This is a global community of pioneering practitioners in renewable and distributed power. In order to harness the collective wisdom of this group, HOMER Energy has also created an on-line community with discussion forums where users can engage with each other.
