contents The Kron reduction is used in power grid modeling when the analysis can -- supposedly -- be restricted to a subset of nodes. Typically, when one is interested in the phases' dynamics, it is common to reduce the load buses and focus on the generators' behavior. The rationale behind this reduction is that voltage phases at load buses adapt quickly to their neighbors' phases and, at the timescale of generators, they have virtually no dynamics. We show that the dynamics of the Kron-reduced part of a network can have a significant impact on the dynamics of the non-reduced buses. Therefore, Kron reduction should be used with care and, depending on the context, reduced nodes cannot be simply ignored. We demonstrate that the noise in the reduced part can unexpectedly affect the non-reduced part, even under the assumption that nodal disturbances are independent. Therefore, the common assumption that the noise in the non-reduced part is uncorrelated may lead to inaccurate assessments of the grid's behavior. To cope with such shortcomings of the Kron reduction, we show how to properly incorporate the contribution of the reduced buses into the reduced model using the Mori-Zwanzig formalism.
