Course Description

Due to environmental challenges and the depletion of fossil fuels, renewable energies are getting so much attention. However, due to the intermittent characteristic of renewable energies, using them as standalone mode could not be reliable. Therefore we need to integrate renewable technologies together to solve this issue. the integrated system needs to be optimally sized to reduce the cost and economically feasible.

To achieve this aim and size and manage our integrated energy system model, we want to develop our model in Homer software. Homer software will then perform optimization on our model to minimize the net present cost of the system.

In this course, I tried to explain all you need for designing your system and technically and economically assessment of it using Homer software for the first time on the Udemy website.

What you will learn in this course:

  • The basic technical and economic concepts of integration of renewable energy systems

  • Homer Software interface

  • How to calculate required parameters

  • Import data to and export the results from Homer

  • Several real projects (Hands-on Homer)

  • Final evaluation of the results

This course is not theory and will give you this opportunity to learn to design energy systems as fast as possible by hands-on projects.

I am so excited to start this course with you and ready to answer all your questions in the comments.

See you!

The course is great, I think the instructor could have taken some extra time going through the results and how to use and interpret them.

By Mahmoud Awadalla on 7/15/2025

This course is very professional, it takes you from scratch to be familiar of the software, how it works and what to get out from it! Instructor easily deliver the content. Iam very thankful to him.

Pengalaman yang menarik untuk belajar software Homer Pro secara online dengan penyajian materi yang terstruktur rapi dan rinci sehingga mempermudah pemahaman.

By Adonis Andino on 3/5/2024

This course strikes a good balance between theory and practical application. It provides hands-on experience with Homer software, allowing you to design and assess energy systems effectively. While some sections could go deeper, the focus on techno-economic evaluation is valuable. Whether you’re a beginner or an industry professional, this course offers insights into renewable energy integration. Thanks it was helpful!

By Pushpendra Kumar Jaiswal on 10/30/2023

i really appreciate that the terms that were important were defined. but it would have been more clear to me of the terms like LCOE and NPC were given some more time with examples. because after knowing these terms from here i also took help from google to get more brief about LCOE. so yeah, its a good experience so far. needs to be explained more briefly.

Guys, if you really wanna dive into Homer Pro easily this course is very excellent. The instructor gave an interesting example with excellent explanation.

By Clay Sullivan on 11/29/2021

Great introduction to Homer which is an impressive hybrid system development tool. Only comment is wish their were more resources such as sample homer files we can load and play with of both the taught example (my numbers wouldn't match) and more complex scenarios.

By Ali Azizi on 4/25/2021

Up to this fourth session, it gives a good over view of integrated energy systems and I am really excited to learn the continuation of this training. Among the positive points of this training is the expressive expression of the teacher and also This course is not only theory but also it is practical by hands-on projects

By Hooman Shirzadi on 4/6/2021

I recommend this course. The instructor went through the software ans explained everything from scratch, which profoundly helped me to understand the details as I didn't have any background about the software and concepts.
