We are doing some hybridation simulations (wind + PV) taking some utility hourly prices. The fact is that we don´t need any load to feed, everything is on grid and the software (HOMER grid) is requiring it in order to simulate. How could we skip it?

HOMER Grid is designed to maximize self-consumption, reducing overall costs by serving the system’s load with its own generation. If your system does not have an electric load, HOMER Front maybe the better software choice to model your project. HOMER Front is designed for utility-scale, front of the meter systems looking to maximize revenue.
If you fill out the form on our HOMER Front webpage, we will share a video demonstration of HOMER Front and its modelling capabilities. Some features include the ability to integrate “price strips,” battery degradation models, augmentation and replacement strategies, and comprehensive capital and operations & maintenance expenses.
