HOMER Pro 3.16
The Electrical tab in the Simulation Results window shows details about the annual production and consumption of electrical energy by the system.
Production
The Production table contains varying information depending on the components in the system you selected. It lists the total annual energy output of each electrical energy-producing component of the power system, plus the total electrical production.
Consumption
The Consumption table contains varying information depending on the components in the system you selected. It lists the total amount of electrical energy that went to serve each of the system's electrical loads. The following values appear in this table when applicable.
Variable |
Description |
The amount of energy that went towards serving the AC primary load(s) |
|
The amount of energy that went towards serving the DC primary load(s) |
|
The amount of energy that went towards serving the deferrable load |
|
Electrolyzer Load Served |
The amount of electrical energy consumed by the electrolyzer |
Grid Sales |
The total amount of electricity sold to the grid during the year |
Total Load Served |
The total amount of electrical load served during the year |
Note: The total production can exceed the sum of the total consumption and the excess electricity because of losses in the storage and converter.
Excess and Shortage
The following table defines the values in the first Quantity table.
Variable |
Description |
The total amount of excess electricity that occurred during the year, as well as the excess electricity fraction expressed as a percentage of the total electrical production |
|
The total amount of unmet load that went unserved because of insufficient generation during the year, as well as the unmet load fraction expressed as a percentage of the total electrical demand |
|
The total amount of capacity shortage that occurred during the year, as well as the capacity shortage fraction expressed as a percentage of the total electrical demand |
Other Outputs
The following table describes the variables in the second Quantity table.
Variable |
Description |
The fraction of the total electrical production that is produced by renewable sources |
|
Maximum Renewable Penetration |
The maximum value of the renewable penetration that occurs over the year |
