The wrong grid
Planning studied a different grid.
Studies are built from peak days. Even an 8,760-hour study does not run on the topology you will actually see.
Uncovered exposure, on the system you are running
Contingencies no study covered.
There are N-1 and N-1-1 conditions on today’s topology that planning did not examine, and that a curated EMS list will not catch. Operators are working from lists that go stale, manual processes, and conservative limits.
Built by a Principal Engineer with 22 years at NYISO. Runs on the State Estimator model you already maintain.
The recognition
Is there a study for the system you are running right now?
Large loads, retirements, and new resources are changing the operating point faster than studies are refreshed. Real-time operations keep running into states no one studied.
The live picture
The live picture is a curated list.
No one is studying the full set of credible N-1-1 contingencies on the live system: not the EMS list, not the reliability coordinator, not the ISO/RTO. None of them will catch it for you.
The cost
The cost is not only the events that make the news.
A local outage that never reaches national news is still a bad day for the C-suite.
How the gap closes
Planning-grade studies, from the case you already have.
Raptrix runs planning-grade N-1 and N-1-1 from the current State Estimator case and surfaces risks current tools do not show.
It uses the EMS and State Estimator model you have already invested in building and maintaining.
What your team receives
What you would know that you do not know today.
- Which single trips would push a data center or chip plant outside its voltage ride-through profile.
- Which N-1-1 sequences would leave no path back within NERC limits, flagged before the first outage happens.
- Voltage and thermal exposure, plus transient screening where dynamics data is available.
Each finding comes with a certificate and its reasons, so the desk can act on it and audit it later.
Recovery certificate

Still insecure
N-1 · 345 kV line outage
Steady state + large-load trip15 min · Rate B
- 01 Large loadsNine data-center campuses (1,800 MW) switch to backup power on their own.
- 02 OverloadFlow shifts onto a 138 kV line at 113% of its emergency rating.
- 03 RecoveryReserve redispatch inside the 15-minute window moves 729 MW. Loading falls to 102.6%.
VerdictStill over the limit after recovery. The campuses stay off until a manual reset.

How a pilot works
Your model stays on your network.
- 01
Pick a recent operating point with your team.
Choose the case that matches how the system is actually running.
- 02
Run inside your environment.
Raptrix runs N-1 and N-1-1 from that State Estimator case inside your environment, on-prem or air-gapped. Your model does not leave your network.
- 03
Walk through what the list missed.
We walk through what the current list does not show, with the certificate for each finding.
No workflow change. No day-one commitment to act on outputs. Pilot in weeks.
Why this exists
Built so the desk would not have to list every N-1-1.
Matthew Musto spent 22 years at NYISO, including as Principal Engineer. He ran the Day-Ahead Market, moved into IT, and then built the tools on the desk: multi-threaded contingency analysis and the video-wall view of the system. Those tools had to be fast enough for the control room, and they had to be built inside NERC CIP constraints.
Dynamic Reserves is what turned that work into Raptrix. Operations would not accept a design that required them to hand-define every N-1-1 contingency first. The result is a deeper contingency analysis: planning-grade studies for thermal, voltage, and first-swing transients, from the live operating point. Screening augments operator judgment and does not replace the desk.
Operator-first
Automation that augments operator judgment and does not replace the desk.
The model you already own
Studies run from the State Estimator case your EMS already maintains.
Deploy where you operate
On-prem (RHEL 10 and Windows certified), air-gapped, or cloud. No vendor lock-in.
Pilot inside your environment
