VERSION CONTROL METHODOLOGY FOR NETWORK MODEL

摘要

Disclosed are methods and apparatus for providing version control for a model. A database(102) is divided into three logical areas corresponding to working model area(120), full model area(122), and permanent model area(124). Data, which may be CIM formatted data, imported into the model is validated against data previously stored in the full model area(122) and version controlled based in part on timestamp data. The version controlled data may then be exported for use by network applications. Imported data may come from a power system utility while the exported data may be used for control of such a utility.
