Yes, that's right, but you can actually use it to compare the result, and I always prefer programming and solving complex problems using Matlab cod and by applying smart algorithms in the solution, like GA, PSO, Ant colonies, etc.

Good luck

Have you considered this tool; https://www.vesbox.com.

Hi Mehdi,

I just recently had contact with an in-process article based entirely on projections of the LEAP software (http://bit.ly/2VrImcU) to analyze a possible change in the energy matrix in a small country, posing scenarios that, due to the context of the country, will probably have a greater availability of biomass for energy production, so that done correctly, could yield quite interesting observations and prospective. In that very same context, there is also a recently identified geothermal potential that could make good use of software like that to perform interesting analyses that is a good time to publish.

Many thanks dear Javier García Reynaud and Alaoma Alozie

HOMER software

Thanks dear Dr Omar Hazem MOHAMMED

Unfortunately, Top journals will rejected the HOMER paper because of "lack of scientific novelty".

MATLAB is the best

PVSyst and hilioscope packages for PV Solar enery application.

Thanks dear Dr Naseer K. Kasim

Unfortunately, Top journals will rejected the PVSyst paper because of "lack of scientific novelty".

Thanks Mr. Mehdi for your comment

You may also use Aspen Plus process simulation software for biomass related conversion technologies.

All are mostly accepting E Tap software. Ofcourse has to add some more updates.

Many thanks dear B Koti Reddy

Do you have a paper in this regards?

I do not have any paper exclusively on this subject. But I am using it for integration issues of Renewables.

Many thanks dear B Koti Reddy

If it is possible for you, help me to learn this software.

MATLAB

Thanks dear Mohammed Yahya Suliman

Do you have a paper or code in this regards?

Matlab, with some effort it is very appropriate

there are some tools like : system Advisor Model (SAM), REopt®modeling platform (online) which has been used in a recent study :

Article Microgrids with Energy Storage Systems as a Means to Increas...

Generally, the novelty of concept is the main criterion for journals. Top journals do not depend merely on the simulations held in those software or tools.

HOMER Pro software is a good option...

Mehdi Jahangiri make use of HOMER. The HOMER (Hybrid Optimization of Multiple Energy Resources) Pro microgrid software will help navigate the complexities of building cost-effective and reliable microgrids that combine traditionally generated and renewable power, storage, and load management. HOMER Grid serves the grid-connected market with cutting edge algorithms for optimizing solar, storage, and more to reduce your overall energy costs. With over 200,000 users in 193 countries, HOMER is the established global leader for design optimization and feasibility, and HOMER Energy has grown to become a nexus for the microgrid market. I have used this software for two of my works and I got great results.

Homer Pro software

Well, it depends on what do you want to investigate. For example, you can use MATLAB or MATLAB/SIMULINK for applying control techniques, optimization algorithms by Matlab codes or using blocks and functions. For optimal design of microgrids based on renewables or even conventional power generation, HOMER software is the most recommended tool. So, mainly the application you want guide you to the software you should use.
