The method of claim 16, further comprising: using the at least one user interface at the control panel to analyze cause and effect from results provided by contingency analysis. 18. The method of claim 1, wherein material presented on the at least one main overview display includes contingency-related information. 19. The method of claim 1, further comprising: rendering a relationship determined between monitored elements and contingencies. 20. The method of claim 18, further comprising: using combinations of the at least one main overview display, the control panel, and violation tool bar filters to enable a user to analyze post contingency case violations. 21. The method of claim 20, wherein an analysis of the post contingency case violations is facilitated by graphical and list formats. 22. The method of claim 18, wherein the control panel shows a monitored element with at least one of a name of the monitored element, a type of violation, base case value, a post contingency value, a limit value associated with an alarm, a violation or warning being presented or a percent over a designated limit. 23. The method of claim 18, wherein when a contingent element creates a violation, a violation maker appears on a branch or substation. 24. The method of claim 23, further comprising: selecting a contingent element marker for a contingent element; anddisplaying all violations that the contingent element creates. 25. The method of claim 18, wherein the control panel includes both a monitored elements tab and a contingency tab. 26. The method of claim 25, wherein the contingency tab is opened when a contingency marker is selected to show a list of contingencies that are impacting the monitored elements in at least one of an alarm state, a violation state and a warning state. 27.
