zakzak Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Is there anyone familiar with Homer energy microgrid software? I used the free version for a small simulation. It was very limited. And the sensitivity analysis was a bit weird. I don't know whether the simulation matches empirical data or not. I am a bit skeptic about it. If there is someone who has experience with it, can you confirm that the data is accurate or not, and do you recommend buying this software? If not, can you recommend another software? Thanks.

zakzak Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 Because I hate making the measurements my self. The simulation is easier. The Homer software was recommended by my professor. But I didn't like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghatikar Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Homer is One of the best out there for microgrid and off grid some others are PVSyst – SAM (NREL) – free registration SolarGIS data - PlantPredict - Youda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zakzak Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 Thanks. Did you compare the results from Homer with empirical data? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YES, Homer is very close as they work with suppliers. Although the results always favor Diesel generation considering today's price levels of Lithium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
