AGORA — Advanced Grid Observation Reliable Algorithms

• AGORA enhances your existing SCADA/EMS system

• Uses real-time data for fast and reliable information

• Faster and more reliable restoration solutions

• Optimize investment through accurate planning and risk analysis

Imagine a monitoring system that lets you know precisely what's going on within your network, all the time, instantly and accurately. Imagine a restoration tool so effective, it can cut recovery time in half. Imagine a planning tool that brings you closer to real-world answers than you ever thought possible. Okay, now stop imagining. AGORA is here.

AGORA works so well, precisely because it works so differently.

Unlike the industry-standard solutions based on Newton-Raphson algorithms, AGORA employs non-iterative mathematics to arrive at correct solutions nearly 100% of the time—even as systems approach collapse. The result is a set of tools so robust, they will keep you informed of the precise state of your network, even under the most difficult circumstances.

AGORA offers a non-iterative approach with a nearly 100% “convergence” rate.
