Incremental Topology Processing is a technique used to update the Consolidated Representation of the system in a very fast manner. It is particularly useful during Contingency Analysis, where it does the following:
Consolidate entire case
For each contingency do
Apply switching device actions and identify subnets with changed topology
Expand affected subnets to full-topology detail
Reconsolidate affected subnets with post-contingency topology
Solve post-contingency power flow
Determine and store limit violations
Reset affected subnets to pre-contingency topology
Restore pre-contingency power system state
End
Deconsolidate entire case
Incremental Topology Processing is very fast, taking on the order of a few milliseconds.
