This bus_9 is used to fetch both conventional generators and generate time-series of renewable generation. At the same time, bus_9 column is dropped from the demand dataframe:
So, generation and loads are attached to different buses which leads to not meaningful simulation results.
I can miss something, but currently it looks like some fix may be needed here. Would be happy to contribute, but need verify that my understanding is correct. @davide-f could you please give some hints on that?

It looks like there may be some mild discrepancy in defining a central bus for each grid.
Currently, such a bus is hardcoded as
bus_9:https://github.com/pypsa-meets-earth/pypsa-distribution/blob/94db427fdca07ffd346e97bd7b9c349705c619ba/scripts/build_shapes.py#L76-L79

Which means that load is attached to all the buses, except
