How To Use The Sienna Documentation
Sienna is a modular modeling platform, so each Sienna package has its own documentation. Click the links above to access the documentation for each core Sienna package.
This central site links these packages and provides information that is common across Sienna, as well as tutorials for new users to learn capabilities across the Sienna applications.
Throughout the Sienna documentation, we strive to follow the Diataxis documentation framework. There are four main sections containing different information:
- Tutorials - Detailed walk-throughs to help you learn how to use Sienna
- How to... - Directions to help guide your work for a particular task
- Explanation - Additional details and background information to help you understand Sienna, its structure, and how it works behind the scenes
- Reference - Technical references and API for a quick look-up during your work
About Sienna
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory's Sienna platform is a open source framework for scheduling problems and dynamic simulations for power systems. Sienna is a modular, extensible platform with three core applications enabled by multiple packages in the Julia programming language:
- Sienna\Data enables efficient data input, analysis, and transformation
- Sienna\Ops enables enables system scheduling simulations by formulating and solving optimization problems
- Sienna\Dyn enables system transient analysis including small signal stability and full system dynamic simulations
