*4.1. Assumptions*

#### 4.1.1. Parameters of the Simulation Model

Tables 1 and 2 present the assumed parameters of the simulation model expressed as a percentage of the peak demand.

**Table 1.** Parameters of the model—demand.


**Table 2.** Parameters of the model—generation and storage.


## 4.1.2. Passive Load Patterns

Beyond the DRA participants, the passive loads are also located inside the modelled distribution network. The information of their demand is gathered by the DSO in order to set the desired operation points for the DRA to shape the profile at the PCC. The presented concept assumed three types of passive loads: commercial, residential and industrial, which were modelled by the fixed demand profiles presented in Figure 7.

**Figure 7.** Demand profiles for commercial, residential and industrial passive loads (own development based on [28]).

#### 4.1.3. Market Price Pattern

The market price of electricity is implemented as the pattern presented in Figure 8. The assumed profile is based on real market data and is treated as predictions of market price used by the aggregator.
