New Feature in HOMER Pro Energy Modeling Software Strengthens Client Presentations

August 11, 2020

Boulder, Colo – August 11, 2020 – HOMER Energy by UL, the global leader in the development of standard-setting energy modeling software, released a new HOMER Pro feature that eases the creation of information-rich proposals. Through its new proposal writer, system designers can quickly and efficiently produce professional reports that illustrate cost savings from distributed renewable energy projects, as well as technical features of the system simulated.

Compiled from the data in a HOMER Pro modeling run, the proposals facilitate communication between multiple stakeholders in a distributed energy project including clients, engineers, construction professionals, financiers, regulators and others.

HOMER Pro software creates graphics in the context of streamlined, well-organized and highly customizable proposals that help demonstrate cost-savings, key proposed hybrid microgrid elements and clear cost comparisons to technical and non-technical audiences. For example, users can graphically view the relative contributions of solar and battery storage in a hybrid system, identify when backup generation might be required and compare different dispatch algorithms or visualize system performance during different seasons. HOMER Pro also includes intuitive graphs that represent capital and operating expenses, allowing a user to view and compare different payback periods and energy cost savings.

The HOMER Pro proposal writer can be customized to produce reports branded with the user logo and profile and allows users the ability to include their choice of graphs and charts output from HOMER Pro software.

“With HOMER Pro’s new proposal writer feature, it is much easier for our customers to demonstrate the value of a distributed renewable energy system to their customers,” said Peter Lilienthal, founder of HOMER Energy, who leads microgrid software and advisory services for UL. “HOMER Pro compares all potential system combinations in a single run, generating a tremendous amount of information about an energy project. The proposal writer consolidates that information and puts it into an attractive, readable format that highlights key points, such as lifetime cash flows and key technical details of the system. Essentially, it helps make the results of an energy simulation understandable to everyone.”

HOMER Pro has set the standard for modeling energy systems in the global marketplace for over a decade. The software models complex hybrid energy systems and microgrids that can include solar, wind, batteries, generators, combined heat and power, hydro, biomass and other resources. By simulating operations for potentially hundreds of systems over a period of a year, this software identifies least-cost options. Using this tool, project developers can help reduce financial risk through the discovery of important technical issues revealed during the software’s thorough pre-feasibility analysis and identification of the most economically optimal systems.

HOMER Pro software is integrated with Helioscope and PVsyst, allowing users to import files from those photovoltaic design programs directly into other applications of HOMER Energy by UL for further analysis. The software is also integrated with Utility API when working with a participating utility which allows users to import high resolution load data into HOMER Pro and design more accurate distributed energy systems to meet those loads.

Dr. Homer T. Caston - Ballard-Sunder Funeral & Cremation

Dr. Homer T Caston was born on January 1, 1925, in Los Angeles, California, to Samuel and Ruth Darlene Cox-Caston. He died peacefully at home with family at his side, in Prior Lake, Minnesota, on October 22, 2022, at the age of 97.

Homer was the seventh born of eleven children. He grew up on a farm in the east San Fernando Valley of Southern California. His father was a sweet potato farmer, and along with his siblings, Homer learned how to farm at a young age, which included picking crops at surrounding ranches. He attended school in the San Fernando Valley and graduated from San Fernando High School.

Homer enlisted in the United States Army Air Corp. at the age of eighteen and served as an officer and pilot during World War Two. After completing his training in the states, he flew B-25 and A-26 bombers, doing search and rescue missions in Fukuoka, Okinawa, and Japan. After the war he joined the Reserves and retired in 1956 with the rank of First Lieutenant, United States Army Reserve.

After returning from Japan, Homer attended the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of California, Davis, with the help of the G.I. Bill. It was there he met his first wife, Diane Tiedemann, who was also a student at U.C. Davis studying to be a teacher. Homer and Diane married in 1952, and they lived in campus housing until they had both graduated.

After graduation, Homer and Diane moved to Napa, Idaho, where he worked mostly with large animals. From there they moved back to California to El Centro, where he opened his first small animal clinic. He was instrumental in minimizing a rabies epidemic in the area, working tirelessly at containing and treating the affected animals. After leaving El Centro, California, in 1963, he and Diane moved to the Conejo Valley, where he eventually opened Anza Animal Clinic, located in Thousand Oaks, California and practiced until his retirement in the late 1980’s. They moved to Thousand Oaks Ranch where Diane purchased property in Lynn Ranch where they built their home and raised their daughters Amy and Carolyn.

Coming from a farming family, Homer made certain there was always a garden for his young family, to produce fruits and vegetables year-round. He also continued his love for farming by purchasing 95 acres in the Santa Rosa Valley of Camarillo, California, and called it the Star Christmas Tree Farm. He grew and sold Christmas trees as well as pumpkins on this family run farm and donated a percentage of the sales to the Conejo Valley YMCA.

He and Diane spent a considerable amount of time in Yosemite National Park, before they were married and continued their visits after their girls came along. He was also involved with Thousand Oaks Toastmasters, was a leader in Timber 4-H, taught Veterinary Science, was a member of the Ventura County Sheriff’s Posse, and a member of the International Coalition for Advocacy on Nutrition (the organization focuses on saving and improving lives through better nutrition).

In 1999 Homer’s wife, Diane, passed away from a lengthy illness.

Over the years, Homer had several outside interests which included flying glider airplanes, golfing, horseback riding, and hiking with daughters Amy and Carolyn, and mountain climbing with his good friend Russell Huse. Together he and Huse, climbed Mt. San Gorgonio, Mt. San Jacinto, and Mt. Whitney. Homer personally climbed Mt. Whitney five times. He also went on several white-water rafting trips with his dear friend Dr. Charlie Nelson, who was a fellow veterinarian and classmate from the University of California at Davis.

Homer married Helen Winick on March 11, 2000, on his beautiful farm in Camarillo, California. Helen had been a veterinary client of his many years earlier. They reconnected while on a medical mission trip to Morazán Honduras. In 2006, Helen took him to her home state of Minnesota. He fell in love with the place and the people, and they eventually became snowbirds dividing time between Minnesota and California. The two of them spent time traveling to Europe and around the United States and immensely enjoyed their golden years together. They were extremely active, and everyone was surprised when they found out their ages!

Homer was always adventurous. At the age of 82, he and his brother John, (age 84), built an ultra-light airplane which they flew together for several years. One of Homer’s big dreams was to experience a winter in Minnesota, which finally happened in 2021-22, and he absolutely loved it. A couple of highlights were enjoying his Rotary club members, caroling at the house, and for his 97th birthday he crossed his fingers and hoped the temperature would not go above zero. That night the low temperature was 13 degrees below zero and the high during the day did not go above zero.

Homer was a member of Rotary International for over 65 years. He was initially a member of the Westlake Village Rotary Club, having served as president and being very involved over the years with Conejo Valley Days (an annual celebration of Conejo Valley’s rich heritage and volunteer spirit). However, once he began attending meetings with the Prior Lake Rotary Club, they joyfully welcomed him as an honorary member.

Through Rotary, he was able to contribute financially to help with the eradication of polio. This was a cause near and dear to his heart, going back as far as 1935, when his sister introduced him to her friend Cecil, who had been a polio victim for 35 years. Over the years the memory of Cecil had touched Homer’s heart and was his inspiration. Homer not only donated money to end Polio, but he also spent time vaccinating people in Central and South America on medical mission trips that he went on over the years with Helen.

Another of Homer’s greater accomplishments was a paper he wrote in the 1970’s on feline cystitis, which was not only published in Veterinary medical journals, but also continues to be referenced worldwide in Veterinary schools to this day.

Homer is preceded in death by his parents, his brothers, Sam, Arthur, and Clinton; his sisters, Dorothy, Ernestine, Roberta, Thursel, and Darlene; and his first wife Diane Caston.

He is survived by his brother, John Caston, and sister Julie Ann Keith; his wife Helen, his loving daughters; Amy Robertson, and Carolyn Wright. Grandchildren; Ryder Robertson, Carlie, and Delanie Wright. Stepchildren; Mark (Myrna) Winick, Patricia Winick, Mike (Carol) Winick, Karyn (Gary) Perkins, and Kathy Kerner. Step-grandchildren; Karis (Seth Colegrove) Craig, Siri (Michael) Wilhelm, Justin (Shannon Halbach) Winick, Matthew (Devaki) Winick, Brianna (Bien) Paulino. Step-great-grandchildren: Kiersten and Anna Winick, Theo and Rowen Wilhelm, Kaiya and Suri Winick, Kinsey Gopher, Evelyn, Trey, and Vivian Paulino.

Homer was a loving, generous, witty, and hardworking man, husband, father, and friend. He made many friends along the way during his life’s journey, and never said a bad thing about anyone. He will be greatly missed by all who were blessed to know him.

Features of the Homer portal

What functionality does Homer's online banking have? What are its main advantages? Let's answer these questions.

Functionality

The most important circumstance of a web service is the remoteness of its maintenance and use. The client has the opportunity to carry out any transactions without leaving his home.

Modern examples of online banking from various organizations, be it Sberbank, Tinkoff or some other Russian bank, have identical tools. The differences are usually minimal and come down mainly to the amount of commission fees. Homer does not lag behind his peers either in terms of the arsenal of options or in terms of fees.

Within Homer, the client can:

open deposits and deposits;
make transfers from one of your accounts to another, as well as to third parties;
receive information about all products provided by Home Credit Bank;
pay for housing and communal services, mobile communication services, Internet and TV;
cover existing loans;
make requests and receive information on the balance of the account and the latest transactions.

In addition, you can apply for a loan online using a special form directly on the site. Although, if the application is approved, you still have to come to the bank office to receive a loan. But you will save time.

Important! The card blocking function is available in the personal account.

If your payment instrument is lost or stolen, you can and should block it remotely.

Key benefits

The main advantages of the Homer portal are:

A wide range of functions and options.
An interface that can be quickly understood. Moreover, even if you are not a very experienced user of online banking, this circumstance is almost completely leveled by an intuitive menu.
Complete account management remotely. Web services of not all banks give customers the opportunity to carry out any operations with accounts: sometimes some actions are not available. Homer does not limit the user in this regard.

A complete list of features can be viewed in the personal account of the portal.

Types and modes of service

To consider the issues of how registration and authorization in the service takes place, you need to briefly understand the types of Home Credit online applications and Homer operating modes.

Views

Of course, an ordinary user will not be able to register in the service for banking specialists, but you need to understand the difference between Sales and client web banking.

Modes

You can work with Homer in two modes: “Turbo” and “Standard”.

The range of features, the functions are the same. But, as is clear from the names, the tangible difference lies in the speed of data exchange with Home Credit servers.

“Standard” is a universal mode available for all devices.

"Turbo" is associated with much faster data exchange. But just because of this, it can lead to Homer freezing and errors if it is run on a relatively weak computer. The system configuration may simply not be enough for turbo mode.

Registration

There are several conditions that are extremely important to comply with in order to register in Homer:

you must be a Home Credit bank customer;
must be a credit card or debit card holder of this organization.

There is a special page for entering the portal, which has fields for entering a username and password.

: Homer Home Credit Registration Page

To obtain authorization data, you can call 8 800 700 80 06. This is hotline of Home Credit Bank. The operator will need to inform:

last name, first name, patronymic;
number or your plastic, or contract;
is a verification (control) word, which is invented at the stage of card design.

The control word is in the contract.

Important! The registration process in the “Turbo” mode is similar in terms of the contents of the registration in the “Standard” mode.

After receiving the data requested from the client, the specialist creates a user account. Authorization data will be sent to your phone via SMS.

The login-password pair is classified as confidential information. There are cannot even be shared with Home Credit employees, let alone other third parties.

Bank employees do not have the right to request authorization information from the client.

Authorization

If the registration was successful, you should open the Homer portal and enter the login-password pair in the fields provided for them.

On a new page, subject to correct entry of authorization data , a personal account will open. There, the user will be able to apply any tools he needs to manage his finances.

Conclusion

Homer Online Banking from Home Credit Bank is a typical representative of this kind of service. The whole set of options is not much different from the corresponding tools of other, larger banks. Homer allows his clients to manage their finances remotely. With its help, the user can quickly carry out transactions and transfer funds, and pay for a variety of services and goods.
