IIDM & XIIDM 1.7 evolutions

Introducing the concept of network validation level

Prior to this release, a network was only considered validated (and hence, could only be created) if its components respected rules corresponding to a steady state hypothesis.

From this version, you can set the minimum network validation level as EQUIPMENT, allowing to delay the validation, for example after a state estimation, when data is directly retrieved from a SCADA.

To use this new feature, you must set:

network.setMinimumValidationLevel(EQUIPMENT);

The XIIDM serialization has also been modified to include this information:

<iidm:network .... minimumValidationLevel="EQUIPMENT">

Please note that even if the minimum validation level is set as EQUIPMENT, if the network validates all STEADY_STATE_HYPOTHESIS checks, it will be exported as with minimum validation level at STEADY_STATE_HYPOTHESIS.
