GridSim Models

Public library of 36 national and regional transmission-grid snapshots for GridSim RC2. Each case uses GridSim's v1 JSON format and includes per-element evidence and provenance. The database licence is ODbL 1.0. See licensing and credits.

Frequency Cases Buses per case
50 Hz 31 36-5,318
60 Hz 5 843-5,771

Each case models one operating snapshot at general-purpose fidelity. The cases carry the UnvalidatedAtScale label and are intended for demonstrations, teaching and exploratory comparisons. Planning, operations and investment require validated studies. The lowest listed voltage may be a generator terminal voltage behind a step-up transformer.

Open a case

GridSim 2.1.000 or later can open any folder under models/. In the desktop app, choose File > Open case folder. From the command line:

Task Command
AC power flow gridsim pf models/<case>
Solve and check conservation laws gridsim physics-check models/<case>
IEC 60909 fault levels gridsim iec60909 models/<case>
