Webinar: Multi-Year Modeling Capability in HOMER Pro and HOMER Grid
The HOMER modeling approach requires only a single year of data for all time-series variables. HOMER Pro allows users to input multi-year data in order to model the impacts of explicit changes. Multi-year modeling is now also available in the HOMER Grid core product. Watch the full educational webinar here.
Future Facilities and Power Summit, May 14-15, 2019, Chicago
Join us at the Future Facilities and Power Summit and learn how you can reduce demand charges and carbon emissions with distributed energy systems. And how you can cut soft costs, reduce your financial risk and improve engineering quality by modeling energy projects in the pre-feasibility stage.

Multi-year Features of HOMER Grid Software Can Help Solar+Storage Developers Predict Financial Impacts of Utility Tariff Increases
Experts and new users of the HOMER Grid software are driving enhancements that will enable more powerful and accurate modeling of grid-tied distributed energy systems. Released today, the new version of HOMER Grid for optimizing behind-the-meter distributed generation features a new Multiyear Analysis function that calculates impacts of future changes like utility price increases and load growth:
Locating Pittsburgh Microgrids for Climate Resilience and Calculating their Value
A University of Pittsburgh economist who specializes in analyzing the financial risk of climate impacts is working on calculating the value of microgrids to help provide greater resilience in cities. She’s using spacial techniques to determine where microgrids should be located to provide maximum service, and she’s using HOMER Pro calculate a cost-benefit analysis:
HOMER Grid: Modeling future changes in microgrids
Growth in microgrid markets worldwide is leading energy developers to ask how they might adapt distributed renewable energy projects to the future. Now both HOMER Pro and HOMER Grid have multi-year modules, which can model the cost of utility rate escalations, load growth – and the degradation of PV and batteries over time.
