abstract = {Graph partitioning has many applications in power systems,
from decentralized state estimation to parallel simulation.
Focusing on parallel simulation, optimal grid partitioning
minimizes the idle time caused by different simulation times
for the sub-networks and their components and reduces the
overhead required to simulate the cuts. Partitioning a graph
into two parts such that, for example, the cut is minimal
and the sub-graphs have equal size is an NP-hard problem. In
this paper, we show how optimal partitioning of a graph can
be obtained using quantum annealing (QA). We show how to map
the requirements for optimal splitting to a quadratic
unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) formulation and
test the proposed formulation using a current D-Wave QPU. We
show that the necessity to find an embedding of the QUBO on
current D-Wave QPUs limits the problem size to under 200
buses and notably affects the time-to-solution. We finally
discuss the implications of quantum hardware non-ideality on
near term implementation in the simulation loop.},
