KING, D.J. 1999. New methods for the protection of embedded generators against the loss of utility networks. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-2807431

The importance of being able to reliably detect Loss of Mains (LOM) for Embedded Generation (EG) has been much documented. In particular it is very difficult for current methods to detect LOM when the EG is "islanded" with part of the Utility Load wh...
