Use Cases Mentioning HOMER Energy

energyscenario simulation and optimization

Portfolio-scale scenario modeling for expansion to 134 additional Cameroon communities

The team used software to test many possible village types and electricity needs so they could plan what future microgrids might cost and how big they should be.

energydecision optimization

AI-assisted redesign planning for off-grid rural electrification upgrades

An AI system helps planners figure out how to expand a village’s solar or off-grid power system as electricity needs grow, while reusing existing equipment and comparing upgrade options.

energysimulation and optimization

Microgrid simulation for planning electrification in isolated communities

Before installing power systems in remote villages, planners can simulate different microgrid setups to choose what will work best.
