10. Note that in this paper we use the terms nodes and buses interchangeably. In a power system a bus is a connection point, typically located in an electrical substation, for transmission lines, transformers, and generators. In some power system contexts, nodes refer to smaller components of a bus that are not separated by circuit breakers. In this context we use the term node to represent a bus, or interconnection point (vertex), in a power network.
