HOMER Front -Utility-scale Hybrid Systems
Built on UL Solution`s trusted HOMER hybrid power optimization platform, HOMER® Front models the technical and economic performance and dispatch of utility-scale energy storage systems – either independently or along with solar and wind. You get critical, actionable insights into optimum strategies that maximize the revenue of merchant energy markets, capacity contracts or power purchase agreements.
Size your system
Determine the optimal size of energy storage in utility-scale systems - whether standalone or combined with other energy sources such as wind and solar.
Manage battery augmentation
Model battery capacity degradation and multiple augmentation or replacement strategies to minimize ongoing expenses and maximize revenue.
Compare revenue streams
Analyze power purchase agreements, wholesale energy markets, capacity markets and ancillary services. Stack multiple value streams and calculate revenue possibilities.
Perform robust sensitivity analysis
De-risk your internal rate of return (IRR) by conducting sensitivity analysis on key performance parameters. Screen project sites and evaluate site and system economic viability.
