Since, I research on rural electrification, for establishing the relations of different energy resources and better visual appearances; I am looking for a software.
You can use LabVIEW from NI for simulation and visualization in the same time.
Dear Mir Sayed Shah,
It depends on what you want to simulate. If you are going to simulate a power system including renewable energy sources (RESs), MATLAB Simulink especially the power system toolbox could be helpful. But for economic evaluation goals and capacity sizing of RES, HOMER is a good choice. See the link below.
Good luck,

The HOMER software is excellent in system sizing and cost analysis, Matlab/Simulink is excellent in system simulation, but LabVIEW is excellent in monitoring and visualization. Also you can use LabVIEW in simulation and use Matlab in GUI (Graphical User Interface).
