The Storage Sizing and Placement Simulation (SSIM) application allows a user to define the possible sizes and locations of energy storage elements on an existing grid model defined in OpenDSS. Given these possibilities, the software will automatically search through them and attempt to determine which configurations result in the best overall grid performance. This quick-start guide will go through, in detail, the creation of an SSIM model based on a modified version of the IEEE 34 bus test feeder system. There are two primary parts of this document. The first is a complete list of instructions with little-to-no explanation of the meanings of the actions requested. The second is a detailed description of each input and action stating the intent and effect of each. There are links between the two sections.
