Abstract

Traditional sources of energy are not enough to meet all the growing demand of energy. Energy resources are shrinking over the time while, the global population has an increasing trend. Over the last decades, renewable energy resources have been emerged as the best alternative for the conventional sources of energy. The damaging impacts of renewable energy resources are very low compared with traditional resources. Zero carbon dioxide emission and zero green-house gas emission during the operational lifetime are a couple of examples of their benefits to the environment. Distributed generators bring the point of generation closer to the point of consumption which significantly reduce the loss and improve the efficiency of the network.
