|text_description=SimSEE is a platform for the Simulation of Systems of Electrical Energy. As such, it allows creating simulators tailored to a generation system, simply by adding the different types of Actors (thermal, wind, solar and hydraulic generators, demand, interconnections, etc.) to a Play-Room (simulation environment). These Actors behave in the Room according to their type.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is 100% programmed with Object Oriented technology which makes it easy to incorporate new models (types of Actors).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To simulate the optimal operation of an Electric Power System, SimSEE solves a Dynamic Stochastic Programming problem, obtaining as a result an Optimal Operation Policy. Using this Policy, different realizations of the stochastic processes (chronicles or possible histories of the future of the system) are simulated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since 2010, SimSEE has become the tool commonly used in Uruguay to simulate the operation of the energy system, mainly due to the good stochastic models developed for the modeling of wind and solar energy.&lt;br /&gt;
These models achieve an adequate representation, both in the long term (Investment Planning) and in the short term (System Operation).&lt;br /&gt;

|Model validation=The model was tested using a set of configurations of the Uruguayan electrical system. For example, conditions of drought or abundance of the hydroelectric resource and starting the simulations with the lakes full or empty and comparing the results with the result of the expert operators.&lt;br /&gt;
|Comment on model validation=Once this series of tests was carried out, the model began to be used for the programming of the operation on all time scales by the ISO of Uruguay&lt;br /&gt;

|text_description=SimSES provides a library of state-the-art energy storage models by combining modularity of multiple topologies as well as the periphery of an ESS. This paper summarizes the structure as well as the capabilites of SimSES. Storage technology models based on current research for lithium-ion batteries, redox flow batteries, as well as hydrogen storage-based electrolysis and fuel cell are presented in detail. In addition, thermal models and their corresponding HVAC systems, housing, and ambient models are depicted. Power electronics are represented with AC/DC and DC/DC converters mapping the main losses of power electronics within a storage system. Additionally, auxiliary components like pumps, compressors, and HVAC are considered. Standard use cases like peak shaving, residential storage, and control reserve power provisions through dispatch of storage are discussed in this work, with the possibility to stack these applications in a multi-use scenario. The analysis is provided by technical and economic evaluations illustrated by KPIs.&lt;br /&gt;
