No grid is fully measured. GridSight® NSE uses the physics of the network, not statistical assumptions, to determine what is actually happening across the entire grid. Discover the new NSE tool by Enline.
Seeing the grid you can´t see.
To operate the grid safely, operators need to know what is happening across the network.
This is especially true in distribution networks, where most sensors are concentrated in substations, leaving large gaps further down the network. Transmission corridors are comparatively well instrumented but confirming exactly how much more a stable line can carry, still means trusting the electrical state at points no sensor sits on.
GridSight® NSE. One deterministic range, not a guess.
GridSight® NSE infers the complete electrical state of a network - voltage at every bus, current through every branch, power at every point - from the limited measurements that actually exist.
The result isn’t a single number. It’s a bounded range (the feasibility envelope) plus the single most probable point inside it. If an operating limit sits entirely outside that range, it cannot be violated. That’s not a statistical confidence interval you hope holds. It’s a guarantee.
Every state the physics allows, not one guess
Know the estimate and how certain it is.
Most tools give a single number and treat it as truth. Enline’s NSE gives a state plus confidence per quantity. That means every voltage, current, and power estimate comes with an uncertainty band that respects physical limits. Honest confidence instead of false certainty.
A guarantee, not a confidence interval.Deterministic bounds mean a limit outside the envelope truly cannot be violated, not just statistically unlikely.
Built for sparse data.Where Weighted Least Squares fails outright, GridSight® NSE still produces a usable, bounded answer.
Reverse flow, without the guesswork.The direction of a reverse power flow comes out of the network physics itself, not confused with a broken sensor.
Sharper with every reading.Every new smart-meter reading, load forecast, or DER estimate narrows the envelope. It never gets less certain, only sharper.
| Capability | Traditional WLS | GridSight® NSE |
|---|---|---|
| Data requirement | Needs more measurements than unknowns | Works with sparse or minimal measurements |
| Output when data is thin | Fails outright, or an unreliable single guess | Full feasibility envelope + most probable point |
| Compliance guarantee | Statistical confidence only | Deterministic: outside the envelope cannot happen |
| Reverse flow detection | Indistinguishable from sensor error | Derived directly from network physics |
| Time to deploy | New sensor rollout typically required | Weeks, from data already reported |
Solved together, not one assumption at a time.
Conventional estimators solve each piece in isolation (topology as reported by SCADA, tap positions as reported by controllers, load from a curve) and never question those assumptions again. GridSight® NSE solves topology, tap positions, load, and instrument error together, as one problem.
Network topology
Taken as given, straight from SCADA
Cross-checked against the network's CIM model, not assumed correct
Transformer tap positions
Trusted exactly as reported by controllers
Treated as another source of error the estimate accounts for
Load per bus
Assumed equal to a weighted load curve
Solved jointly with taps, voltages and switch status: one problem, not four
Real networks. Real certainty.
GridSight® NSE works across the entire grid. From confirming transfer capacity on transmission corridors, to building a complete view of distribution feeders with a fraction of the measurements traditional estimators require.
