A 1000 × 1000 bus admittance matrix for an electric power system has 8000 non-zero elements. The minimum number of branches (transmission lines and transformers) in this system are _____ (up to 2 decimal places).

A 10-bus power system consists of four generator buses indexed as G1, G2, G3, G4 and six load buses indexed as L2, L2, L3, L4, L5, L6. The generator-bus G1 is connected as slack bus, and the load buses L3 and L4 are voltage controlled buses. The generator at bus G2 cannot supply the required reactive power demand, and hence it is operating at its maximum reactive power limit.
