## 6 Comparison of IDMs  
Based on the studies that were carried out, each islanding detection method has some advantages and disadvantages which should be taken into account when choosing the right IDM to be used in the network. The comparison between islanding detection methods based on the advantages and disadvantages is briefly presented in Table 2. Moreover, the selection of islanding detection methods is based on a comparative judgment that depends on the criteria which can be considered before the implementation, such as the implementation cost, non-detected zone, response time, and so on, as presented in Tables 3 and 4. \begin{table}
