Smarter Microgrid Design
HOMER Pro®, part of ULTRUS™ software from UL Solutions, helps our customers design renewable energy systems with actional insights and smarter microgrid design capabilities.
By combining engineering simulations and economic analysis, microgrids can be tailored to specific needs, such as village power, island utilities, grid-connected campuses and military bases.
HOMER Pro can be customized with up to 9 individual modules to meet your specific modeling needs:
For users who model systems running on most types of biomass feedstock and gasification process.
Model biomass gasification and biogas-fueled or cofired generators.
For users who model systems that include conventional, small, or micro hydroelecticity generation.
Specify the stream flow in the Hydro resource, either as twelve monthly values, or as an imported time series.
For users who model building heating systems such as boilers, cogeneration, heat recovery, and any system that demands/supplies heat energy.
Model a building, an industrial process, equipment such as a thermal absorption chiller, and any other system that consumes heat energy.
Users who create models with both AC and DC loads.
Model deferrable loads such as pumping or HVAC.
For users who will model grid-connected systems with varying grid prices, detailed grid specification, or off‑grid systems where grid extension is a possibility.
Model grid-connected systems with real-time or scheduled pricing, grid extension analysis, and grid outages.
For users who model fuel cells, remote off-grid operations, large industrial processes, or any system with hydrogen production, storage, or consumption.
Model systems that generate, store, and consume hydrogen.
Unlocks rate dependent losses, changes in capacity with temperature, variable depth-of-discharge for cycle life and increased degradation rate at higher temperatures.
Model changes that can occur over the course of a project such as PV degradation, grid price escalation, load growth and fuel price escalation.
Integrate your own MATLAB dispatch strategy with HOMER Pro. Experience total control over how you want your microgrid model to work.
“We are amazed at both the thoroughness of the software and the design complexity that it allows us to relatively quickly evaluate. To our knowledge, there is no other software on the market that matches HOMER for the purpose of designing renewable energy systems.”
UL Solutions created the ULTRUS software collection to help our customers solve challenges in product stewardship, ESG, renewable energy, learning and workplace safety. As part of ULTRUS, HOMER Pro software makes microgrid design smarter and is the global standard for optimizing microgrid design across all sectors. Our customers benefit from a common software brand for credibility, connection and clarity between our digital offerings.
