                                         TopologicalNode

For a detailed substation model a TopologicalNode is a set of connectivity nodes that, in the current network state, are connected together through any type of closed switches, including jumpers. Topological nodes changes as the current network state changes (i.e., switches, breakers, etc. change state). For a planning model switch statuses are not used to form TopologicalNodes. Instead they are manually created or deleted in a model builder tool. TopologialNodes maintained this way are also called 'busses'.

[hide private]

init(self, ConnectivityNodeContainer=None, BaseVoltage=None, Terminal=None, *args, **kw_args)
(Constructor)

Initialises a new 'TopologicalNode' instance.

Parameters:

ConnectivityNodeContainer - The connectivity node container to which the toplogical node belongs.
BaseVoltage - The base voltage of the topologocial node.
Terminal - The terminals associated with the topological node. This can be used as an alternative to the connectivity node path to terminal, thus making it unneccesary to model connedtivity nodes in some cases. Note that the if connectivity nodes are in the model, this association would proably not be used.

Overrides: object.__init__

getTerminal(self)

The terminals associated with the topological node. This can be used as an alternative to the connectivity node path to terminal, thus making it unneccesary to model connedtivity nodes in some cases. Note that the if connectivity nodes are in the model, this association would proably not be used.
