Abstract
A distributed generator is a small-scaled active generating unit located <st1:data language="0" startpos="73" context="A distributed generator is a small-scale active generating unit located on or near the site where it is to be used. Several benefits have been realized by installing DGs in the distribution network. Among them is a reduction in the
