Modeling an electrolyzer in HOMER

If you include a minimum load ration of 72% in the generator, the capacity factor of the electrolyser reaches 99% (it means that it was operating most of the time); with 30% it only reaches 60%... This is a tricky system to model in HOMER. It does not "think ahead" when operating the electrolyzer. HOMER operates the electrolyzer only when there i
