The Custom Component options are:

Renewable Power Source: You can specify a time-series power output from a renewable component.

Matlab Component: You can include a MATLAB M-file that calculates how much power is produced by the component.

Non-renewable Power Source: You can specify a time-series power output from a non-renewable component.

Power Purchase Agreement: You can use a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) from a 100% renewable source.

 

Note: If the imported power output accounts for energy loss and is negative at any time step, HOMER will treat these values as zero.
