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.

The risk this closes

All of this closes one gap.

The engineering below exists to close one gap: credible N-1 and N-1-1 conditions on the live system that planning did not study and that a curated list will not catch.

Full-AC Newton-Raphson

Strict Q-limit enforcement: a converged solution that violates generator Q limits is marked infeasible.

Full-system coverage at real-time cadence

Planning-grade N-1 and defined N-2 studies on the live operating point, without trading away the physics.

Automatic contingency selection

Automatic contingency selection that augments operator judgment, with no hand-maintained lists.

IBR, FACTS, and PST awareness

IBR, FACTS, and PST devices are carried in the case. We do not claim device-level control modeling inside the solver.

Recovery within NERC limits

Each flagged contingency is checked for a path back within NERC limits using available reserves and controls. Q-limits stay enforced. Only unrecoverable cases are surfaced.

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).

Native large-load (NERC L3) modeling

Large, voltage-sensitive loads as first-class citizens: voltage profiles, up/down ramps, load reduction schemes.

First-swing stability screening

When dynamics data is available, first-swing checks run on the same solved operating point used for contingency analysis. Large-load rejection scenarios are supported today; inverter-centric models are expanding.

Deployment story

Deploy where you operate.

  • On-prem (RHEL 10 and Windows certified)
  • Air-gapped
  • Cloud (on request)
  • Deterministic builds + reproducible pipelines
  • No cloud lock-in
Pilot inside your environment

See the contingencies your current tools are not covering.

Pick a recent operating point. We run N-1 and N-1-1 from that State Estimator case inside your environment and walk through what your current list does not show.
