American Vanadium's CellCube(tm) Included in HOMER Microgrid Software
Vancouver, BC / TNW-ACCESSWIRE / August 6, 2014 / American Vanadium Corp.. ("American Vanadium" or the "Company") (TSX.V: AVC) (OTCQX: AVCVF) is pleased to announce that CellCube vanadium flow energy storage systems are now included in HOMER Microgrid Software. HOMER(R) is a software platform originally created at the US Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory which has been used by approximately 100,000 people to design and analyze remote off grid electrical systems as well as grid integrated microgrids.
A webinar explaining the HOMER model as it applies to the CellCube system will be conducted by HOMER Energy and American Vanadium in the near future. For more information, contact the Company at sales@americanvanandium.com.
"With Navigant Research predicting the dramatic growth of all microgrid segments in the next decade, particularly the remote and island microgrid sector, we are very excited that the current HOMER user base as well as our future customers will have access to this powerful design and modeling tool for the CellCube system," said Bill Radvak, President and CEO of American Vanadium. "This will be extremely helpful as clients analyze the viability and benefits of utilizing our systems in both existing and proposed microgrid systems."
HOMER is now distributed exclusively by HOMER Energy LLC. HOMER Energy is a focal point for microgrid development as most microgrid projects have employed the HOMER (Hybrid Optimization of Multiple Energy Resources) software at some point in the process.
"The reality is that microgrids are economically viable today where diesel generators are the primary or sole source of power," says HOMER Energy CEO Peter Lilienthal, "This is typically in islanded or other remote locations. Our software enables the implementation of the right systems by optimizing technology and economics at the same. We are pleased to offer the CellCube energy storage systems as a potential solution to our customers' challenges and to help make remote generation more efficient."
