**5. Simulation**

#### *5.1. Scenarios*

The method is examined in three main simulation scenarios which differ in the share of energy from RES in total demand in the analyzed distribution system. In the first scenario, the share of energy from RES is 30%, in the second 40%, and in the last scenario 50%. Furthermore, each major scenario has three sub-scenarios that were created to display the differences between approaches to the development of distribution systems. In Sub-scenario A, only the sizing and allocation of RES were used, in Sub-scenario B, the sizing and allocation of RES and ES were used, and in the last sub-scenario, C, the sizing and allocation of RES and energy curtailment were used.

Main scenarios:

30% share of energy from RES in total demand, 40% share of energy from RES in total demand, 50% share of energy from RES in total demand.

Sub-scenarios:

sizing and allocation of RES, sizing and allocation of RES and ES, sizing and allocation of RES and EC.
