HOMER Energy released HOMER Grid – our first new desktop product since the launch of HOMER Pro in November 2014. HOMER Grid addresses a growing market that was not well served by HOMER Pro: behind-the-meter systems connected to a mostly reliable grid, where demand charges, energy arbitrage, self-consumption, or all three of these are driving the economics of storage, often in combination with renewables, such as solar or wind, backup generators, or combined heat and power systems.(HOMER is a　software application developed by
the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in the
United States. This software application is used to
design and evaluate technically and financially the
options for off-grid and on-grid power systems for
remote, stand-alone and distributed generation
applications. It allows you to consider a large number
of technology options to account for energy resource
availability and other variables.)
