The operation and control of traditional power systems are centralized in nature. All the information goes to a centralized operator to manage the system with an increasing number of participants (e.g. distributed generation, energy storage, etc). The primary issues and computational burden increases. To reduce the problem, the power system can be divided into various local zones using network partitioning based on various factors. The local power zones can manage the challenges that arise because of the large renewable and storage in the generation it can maintain and manage the adequate active and reactive power flows voltage variation etc. to ensure the reliable and stable system operation. The partitioning technique identifies coherent groups of nodes in power networks. The main problem was to divide the zones effectively. This paper presents a network partition by the use of a modularity function based on locational marginal pricing. Modularity is a highly effective approach to optimization for the possible division of a network. IEEE-9 Bus test system is used to illustrate the outcomes from the proposed partitioning method.
