Add simulation request script for GridAPPSD integration

- Created a new Python script (temp.py) to send simulation requests to GridAPPSD.
- Configured environment variables for GridAPPSD user credentials.
- Defined a request structure for two geographical regions with specific simulation configurations.
- Implemented response handling to print the output from the GridAPPSD service.
