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.
Platform capabilities
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.
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 defined 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-tagged screening
IBR-tagged screening. FACTS/PST carried in .rpf; NR device control is not claimed. PTDF / LODF ranking is awareness, not FACTS-aware NR voltage control.
NERC recovery validation
Q-limits enforced. Greedy reserve dispatch + switched-shunt recovery (on by default). 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, 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.
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 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 exhaustive N-1 + defined N-2 with LTE / Normal-window recovery and walk through the results with your team — no slide-deck theater.
