Grid-Mind

Features

Grid-Mind combines LLM usability with production-grade simulation logic. This page describes capabilities at a product level without exposing proprietary implementation details.

Multi-Fidelity CIA Pipeline

Orchestrates steady-state, contingency, transient, and EMT screening with auditable stage-level outputs.

  • - NL-driven study setup translated into deterministic simulation tasks
  • - Stage-by-stage checks to prevent unsupported recommendations
  • - Criteria-profile support for utility and regional planning standards

Hosting Capacity + Sensitivity Gradients

Finds maximum feasible injection and produces full MW-vs-margin curves for planning boundaries.

  • - Single-bus and multi-bus sweeps for regional boundary mapping
  • - Constraint traces that identify first-binding voltage or thermal limits
  • - Direct handoff to planning reports and mitigation workflows

Two-Stage Contingency Screening

Rapid DC pre-filtering followed by AC evaluation of critical cases to reduce runtime while preserving rigor.

  • - Fast elimination of benign outages before expensive nonlinear solves
  • - Focused AC analysis on only the contingencies that can violate limits
  • - Scales to large contingency sets while maintaining engineering fidelity

Remedial Action Generation

Produces mitigation candidates ranked by expected impact and electrical relevance.

  • - Locational redispatch, shedding, and reactive support options
  • - Ranking by proximity, impact factors, and violation type
  • - Action tables aligned with operator and planner decision workflows

Grid Strength Analytics

Computes SCR and WSCR for IBR projects and ties strength classes to EMT risk signals.

  • - Bus-level SCR and aggregate WSCR for inverter-rich interconnections
  • - Automated weak-bus detection for early EMT risk screening
  • - Strength results integrated with planning narratives and topology views

Interactive SLD and Topology Views

Maps violated elements, weak buses, and sensitivity behavior in one visual operations workflow.

  • - Visual overlays for violations, weak strength zones, and connection points
  • - Node-click actions to launch sensitivity plots instantly
  • - Designed for planner review, handoff, and stakeholder communication

Typical Study Deliverables

  • - Violation summaries with binding elements and thresholds
  • - Hosting-capacity limits with sampled margin curves
  • - Contingency rankings with fast-screen and AC-confirmed results
  • - Remedial action candidates linked to impacted buses and corridors
  • - Grid-strength tables (SCR/WSCR) for IBR screening

How Teams Use It

  1. 1. Define project scope, criteria profile, and interconnection assumptions.
  2. 2. Run baseline CIA plus N-1, hosting capacity, and grid-strength checks.
  3. 3. Review weak points in topology and sensitivity plots.
  4. 4. Export actionable mitigations and decision-ready summaries.
