“…In such cases, it is impossible to produce network partitions such that the generation-load difference of each partition is a positive value. Even though the proposed network partitioning strategy tries to find a cut-set that maximizes the minimum generation-load difference of all possible partitions e (11,12) , e (12,14) , e (15,17) , e (17,18) , e (22,23) , e (23,24) , e (30,38) } rather than producing some partitions with positive generationload differences and the rest with large negative generationload differences, certain partitions can still result in negative generation-load differences. In such cases, transmission system operators can either decide to repartition with a reduced α(v i ) value or not to restore non-critical loads in the partitions with negative generation-load difference as they can be restored after the synchronization of the partitions.…”
