HOMER Grid
Combined Heat and Power
Maximize efficiency with combined heat and power systems.
Combined heat and power (CHP) systems can significantly improve overall energy efficiency by capturing and utilizing waste heat. HOMER Grid helps you model and optimize CHP systems to understand the full value of cogeneration for your facility.
Watch the video to learn about modeling combined heat and power with HOMER Grid.
You'll discover how to design a hybrid power system that powers your facility without the grid in island mode, or in conjunction with the grid to reduce energy costs.
HOMER Grid's customizable report helps communicate the value of your power system.
