“…Te set of nodes belonging to some initial partitions are represented by a single node for simplifcation, V40 � {V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6, V7, V10, V11, V13, V14, V25, V30, V31, V32, V37} and V41 � {V15, V16, V17, V19, V20, V21, V22, V23, V24, V26, V27, V28, V29, V33, V34, V35, V36, V38}. Te cutting sets to separate the partitions are e (14,15), e (3,18), and e (25,26), where the maximum generation-load diference of the 1 st partition is −96.11 MVAR and the 2 nd partition is 321.18 MVAR.…”
