Evaluation of HOMER modeling and simulation for three microgrid cases

With the increasing consciousness for sustainable development and energy efficiency, microgrids have been gaining much more attention in recent years. Before a microgrid is established, simulation of the microgrid system is necessary and of great importance. HOMER Pro is one of the simulation softwa...

So the main objectives of this project are to introduce the software HOMER Pro. Use this software to simulate three different microgrid cases and analyze the simulation results.
