- The increasing penetration of inverter-based resources (IBRs), e.g, renewable and energy storage systems, is fundamentally reshaping power grid dynamics. Unlike conventional resources, IBRs interact with the grid through power electronics operating at microsecond timescales, introducing ultrafast dynamic phenomena that conventional time-domain simulation methods, e.g., RMS techniques, fail to capture [1]. Electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulations can capture these fast dynamics but require integration time steps of 1–50 microseconds, making system-wide studies computationally intractable. This creates a critical bottleneck for stability analysis, contingency planning, and control design in modern power systems, as time-domain simulation has been a fundamental tool for analyzing system stability and dynamic performance [2]. Recent grid incidents, such as the April 2025 massive blackout in Spain and Portugal, underscore these limitations and the need for scalable analysis tools. Overcoming this computational barrier is crucial to the stable integration of renewable energy sources as mandated by climate change mitigation policies [3].

  This dataset was created to support research on machine learning (ML)-based surrogate modeling for power systems time-domain simulation. Several datasets have been proposed to study the time domain dynamics of the grid. We limit our discussion to those that are released as is [4-8], released through scripts that regenerate the dataset [9, 10], or where the authors have stated that the dataset will be released [11]. Several other datasets have been proposed, but the datasets or scripts have not been released [12, 13]. There is a diverse set of grids used as the basis for the available datasets, including: the IEEE 9-bus system with 3 synchronous generators; the IEEE 36-bus system including several IBRs [19]; the New York–New England power grid model [18]; Kundur’s two-area system [9]; a detailed 4th-order synchronous machine connected to a bus with varying voltage [10]; an inverter-based microgrid digital twin [11]; and a set of different models for IBRs [14]. Of particular interest to our problem setting is [20], which generates trajectories using a temporal resolution sampled from the range [1, 40] ms, but only using an RMS-based simulation and does not include IBRs. All other datasets release data for a fixed temporal resolution. [21] produce data in both the EMT and RMS regimes, but the released data contains only a few trajectories and is not designed with machine learning applications in mind. Finally, several simulation platforms have been proposed that enable the joint production of RMS and EMT simulation trajectories [15, 16], but no specific datasets have been released from these platforms.
