Abstract
Model reduction has become an important issue in the analysis of electric power systems, due to their constantly increasing size and complexity. In this paper we present a decomposition algorithm which is capable of reducing the number of equations in the model, while preserving the potential for parallel computation. A variety of experimental results are provided to illustrate the performance of the algorithm.
