In this study, based on complex network science, we propose a new method to determine the location of the distributed generators such that the efficiency and the fault tolerance of the power grid can be improved. In the case of using only network-topology data, the numerical experiments show that the arrangement of the distributed generators which increases the fault tolerance produces some location deviation. It is found that this result can be explained by the lowest capacity allocated to a link, and increasing the lowest value of the capacity enables more efficient arrangement of the distributed generators without reducing the fault tolerance. In the case of using the network data which have some properties of a real power grid, we find a new explanation variable to analyze the power loss of the power grid evaluated by an exact formula used in the field of electrical engineering.
