We find that an unconstrained allocation and growth of the distributed generation can drive a power grid beyond its design parameters. In order to overcome such a problem, we propose a topological algorithm derived from the field of Complex Networks to allocate distributed generation sources in an existing power grid. %Z 7th International Workshop, CRITIS 2012, Lillehammer, Norway, September 17-18, 2012.
