Resumen: Distributed generation (DG) is emerging as a new paradigm to produce on-site highly reliable and good quality electrical power. Thus, the DG systems are presented as a suitable form to offer highly reliable electrical power supply. The concept is particularly interesting when different kinds of energy resources are available, such as photovoltaic (PV) panels, fuel cells (FCs), or wind turbines. The DG of different kinds of energy systems allow for the integration of renewable and nonconventional energy resources. Hence, the DG is becoming a part of the strategic plans of most countries to address current challenges associated with energy management.
