The EV Charging Design Tool in HOMER Grid accepts inputs to describe vehicle types and charging requirements, such as EV battery size (kWh) and maximum charge rate (kW). The smart charger allows project developers to leverage HOMER Grid’s capability to model demand charge reduction in any distributed renewable energy system and apply this to an EV charging station. It prioritizes the use of renewable power and schedules charging to take advantage of grid electricity when it is at its lowest cost. The smart or deferrable charging station mode models the intelligent charging of a car or a fleet of cars to minimize the cost. The on-demand mode functions like an ordinary gas station, wher e vehicles show up to charge as quickly as possible.

HOMER Grid software addresses two types of charging scenarios when it simulates energy systems. HOMER Grid can model how renewables and distributed generation address the growing demand for EV charging in a clean and cost-effective way. The solution is to co-locate renewables and storage with charging infrastructure. Project engineers and designers have a growing need to respond to increased demand for EV charging stations, as well as a growing awareness that electric vehicles should be charged with affordable, clean energy in order to reduce carbon emissions. The software can model a range of applications, including an on-demand mode which charges vehicles as fast as possible, or a smart, deferrable mode wher e EV charging is optimized for the lowest impact on the utility bill. The new capability helps users design optimal renewable energy and storage systems to reduce utility costs - especially demand charges - of electric vehicle charging.

Essentially, it helps make the results of an energy simulation understandable to everyone.Software update can now model how hybrid systems power EV charging stations and help users design optimal renewable energy and storage systems to reduce utility costs of EV chargingīoulder, Colo. – J– HOMER Energy by UL, a g lobal leader in the development of standard-setting energy modeling software, today announced that HOMER Grid, software for designing grid-tied distributed energy projects, can now model how hybrid systems power electric vehicle (EV) charging stations.

The proposal writer consolidates that information and puts it into an attractive, readable format that highlights key points, such as lifetime cash flows and key technical details of the system.

“HOMER Pro compares all potential system combinations in a single run, generating a tremendous amount of information about an energy project. “With HOMER Pro’s new proposal writer feature, it is much easier for our customers to demonstrate the value of a distributed renewable energy system to their customers,” said Peter Lilienthal, founder of HOMER Energy, who leads microgrid software and advisory services for UL. The HOMER Pro proposal writer can be customized to produce reports branded with the user logo and profile and allows users the ability to include their choice of graphs and charts output from HOMER Pro software. HOMER Pro also includes intuitive graphs that represent capital and operating expenses, allowing a user to view and compare different payback periods and energy cost savings. For example, users can graphically view the relative contributions of solar and battery storage in a hybrid system, identify when backup generation might be required and compare different dispatch algorithms or visualize system performance during different seasons. HOMER Pro software creates graphics in the context of streamlined, well-organized and highly customizable proposals that help demonstrate cost-savings, key proposed hybrid microgrid elements and clear cost comparisons to technical and non-technical audiences.

Through its new proposal writer, system designers can quickly and efficiently produce professional reports that illustrate cost savings from distributed renewable energy projects, as well as technical features of the system simulated.Ĭompiled from the data in a HOMER Pro modeling run, the proposals facilitate communication between multiple stakeholders in a distributed energy project including clients, engineers, construction professionals, financiers, regulators and others. HOMER Energy by UL, the global leader in the development of standard-setting energy modeling software, released a new HOMER Pro feature that eases the creation of information-rich proposals.
