On January 20, 2025, Ujjwol Tamrakar presented a talk titled “An Open-Source Tool for Energy Storage Sizing and Placement in Electric Grids (QuESt-SSIM)” during the session “Energy Storage Applications” at the IEEE Energy Storage Applications and Technologies (EESAT) Conference.
This presentation highlighted an energy storage sizing and placement tool designed for electric grids. As energy storage becomes increasingly integrated into electric grids to facilitate the clean energy transition, ensuring grid resilience and reliability is paramount. The QuESt-SSIM tool provides capabilities to guide decisions on sizing, placement, and control/operating strategies of energy storage systems in electric grids. It can simulate detailed grid models, capture dynamics spanning multiple domains and timescales, and incorporate threats into the decision-making process. This functionality can assist various stakeholders in making informed decisions regarding energy storage deployment and operation in electric grids.
The IEEE EESAT conference is a premier technical forum for presenting advances in energy storage technologies and applications. The work presented directly aligns with the event’s aim of advancing the applications and value of energy storage.
