Capability · Autonomy
An autonomous system is only as safe as its model of the world. Ipnops Grid pairs an agent runtime with the observation, intelligence, and simulation layers above so every dispatch decision is grounded, simulated, and logged. Operators set the policy envelope; the agent acts inside it.
01
The agent calls a small, typed set of tools: forecast(target, horizon), simulate(scenario, interventions), dispatch(asset, setpoint), search(corpus, query), reef-style site-inspect(asset, modality), and policy(action) for guard-rail evaluation. Every call is zod-validated. Tools are minted per tenant and per site; the agent cannot call beyond its issued surface.
02
Aggregate distributed assets — home batteries, water heaters, smart thermostats, fleet EVs, commercial HVAC — into a single addressable resource and bid into FERC Order 2222 markets. The agent optimizes against day-ahead LMPs, capacity payments, ancillary services, and customer comfort constraints simultaneously. CAISO has been live since November 2024; ISO-NE goes live in November 2026; PJM in February 2028. The platform is ready for each.
03
OpenADR 3.0 fast-DR with measured shed within 4 minutes of dispatch. The agent stages pre-cooling and pre-heating against day-ahead price forecasts, holds tenant comfort within ±0.5°C of setpoint, and reports to the program operator over the JSON / REST event stream the new spec mandates.
04
Fault Location, Isolation, and Service Restoration is a foundational distribution-automation capability. Ipnops Grid layers on it: the agent recommends which tie-switches to close based on real-time topology, vegetation risk, and equipment condition signals from the acoustic sensors. Documented FLISR deployments cut outage durations by 55%; with intelligence on top, that number goes up.
05
When the utility grid fails, the agent orchestrates islanding through grid-forming inverters that satisfy IEEE 2800-2022 negative-sequence current requirements during asymmetric LVRT. Critical loads ride through; non-critical loads are shed by priority; resync follows the same standard's reconnection criteria. Islanding for hospitals, ports, and data centers is not optional — Ipnops Grid is built for the day the line goes dark.
06
OCPP 2.1 with ISO 15118-20 Plug & Charge. Bidirectional V2G/V2H/V2B where the vehicle and charger support it. Schedules optimize against tariff signals while honoring departure-time constraints and minimum SoC. Fleet depots become dispatchable resources: 720 kW of EV-load deferred past the 19:00 peak is a 720 kW VPP asset.
07
Every agent decision is logged with the full input window, the tool calls made, the model that produced each call, the simulation run that validated it, and the policy that approved it. Operators get a replay viewer with the same provenance chain; auditors get a structured event log with cryptographic chaining. The platform is designed for the day a regulator asks why.
