Abstract
With falling prices of alternative sources of energy like wind turbines and fuel cells and the deregulation of electric supply, the use of distributed generation sources at the consumer end is on the rise. Distribution systems were not designed originally to accommodate such energy sources at the load end. This paper reviews the concerns of using distributed generators (DCs) and takes a close look at the issue of unintentional islanding.
