The physics under
Sentinel and Forge.

A reference of the engineering choices Sentinel and Forge share — what makes them defensible at planning-grade fidelity and real-time cadence.

Full-AC Newton-Raphson

Strict Q-limit enforcement: a converged solution that violates generator Q limits is marked infeasible. Non-negotiable physics. No FDNR shortcuts.

Intelligent PV-PQ switching

Prevents naïve “infinite Q” hacks while still recovering solvable cases.

Solver cloning for massive parallelism

Hundreds of full-AC N-1 and escalated N-2 cases in near real-time.

Hybrid contingency selection

Graph-theory plus operator-defined guardrails — betweenness centrality, electrical distance, critical cut-sets, and historical patterns augment operator judgment.

IBR-, FACTS-, and PST-aware PTDF / LODF

Correct handling of modern grid elements for accurate contingency screening and ranking.

NERC recovery validation

Greedy reserve dispatch checks whether each flagged contingency can return to normal under LTE within 15 minutes.

Rich .rpf interchange

Solved state, contingency definition, violation details, topological view, investigation context, and recommended next actions — carried in a single self-describing file.

Look-ahead advisory mode

Roadmap: commitment states plus load forecast plus expected outages and returns at planning-grade fidelity (Sentinel Phase 2, Q3).

Native large-load (NERC L3) modeling

AI data centers and other large, voltage-sensitive loads as first-class citizens: voltage profiles, up/down ramps, load reduction schemes.

Deployment story

Deploy where you operate.

  • On-prem (RHEL certified)
  • Air-gapped
  • Cloud (on request)
  • Deterministic builds + reproducible pipelines
  • No cloud lock-in
No-cost pilot for qualified teams

Pilot Sentinel on your representative case.

Bring a recent State Estimator export. We will run an exhaustive N-1 + intelligent N-2 with recovery validation and walk through the results with your team — no slide-deck theater.
