Depreciation / load growth

Is possible to raise the load profile yearly?

 

No, HOMER assumes that everything remains constant over the project lifetime, so that it needs to simulate only one year of system operation.  You can of course do a sensitivity analysis on the size of the primary load to analyze the effect of larger load sizes.  You could make multiple runs with increasing load size and amalgamate the results outside of HOMER to analyze the effects of a changing load size, but that would take a lot of work.
