To the best of our knowledge, this paper proposes for the first time a design of a continuous local flexibility market that explicitly considers network constraints. Continuous markets are expected to be the most appropriate design option during the early stages of local flexibility markets, where insufficient liquidity can hinder market development. At the same time, increasingly loaded distribution systems require to explicitly consider network constraints in local flexibility market clearing…

Network-Aware Flexibility Requests for Distribution-Level Flexibility Markets
TLDR
This paper introduces a method to design network-aware flexibility requests from a DSO perspective, and compares the approach against a stochastic market clearing mechanism, which serves as a benchmark, deriving analytical conditions for their performance.
Auction-Based vs Continuous Clearing in Local Flexibility Markets with Block Bids
TLDR
A continuous local flexibility market which includes both network constraints and asymmetric block bids is introduced and an algorithm that can accurately determine the upper and lower bound of the social welfare loss compared with an auction-based clearing model is proposed.
Distribution-Level Flexibility Markets—A Review of Trends, Research Projects, Key Stakeholders and Open Questions

Lecture Notes on Optimal Power Flow (OPF)
TLDR
These lecture notes cover the DC Optimal Power and ACoptimal Power Flow formulations, as well as the Economic Dispatch for Power Systems, and will include OPF formulations based on semidefinite programming, detailed derivation of Locational Marginal Prices, and other topics.
Why baselines are not suited for local flexibility markets
TLDR
This paper proposes the use of capacity limitations services, which represent temporary absolute consumption caps for aggregators, and argues that they are better suited to tackle the challenges of distribution systems operation.
EcoGrid 2.0: A large-scale field trial of a local flexibility market
TLDR
A method to identify and quantify the value of possible flexibility services that are beneficial to the distribution system operator and insight from the operation of a real local flexibility market is provided, which shows that aggregators are able to reliably shape the load of residential heating units to deliver flexibility services, despite the presence of large uncertainties.
Local flexibility markets: Literature review on concepts, models and clearing methods
TLDR
This paper reviews local flexibility markets, which are currently being discussed and designed to provide trading platforms for local participants, including distribution system operators and aggregators, and summarizes the key elements, technologies and participants.
Market clearing in microgrid-integrated active distribution networks
TLDR
A security-constrained distribution system market clearing model in presence of proactive customers, and in particular, microgrids, is proposed, which exhibits the significance and the effectiveness of the proposed model.

Optimal Flexibility Dispatch Problem Using Second-Order Cone Relaxation of AC Power Flows
TLDR
A novel optimization method to solve the optimal flexibility dispatch problem for a system operator such that it deploys the demand response resource effectively and gives the locational pricing of flexibility services is proposed.
Optimal Participation of Residential Aggregators in Energy and Local Flexibility Markets
TLDR
The results obtained show that using robust optimization allows strategic bidding to capture uncertainties while complying with obligations in the wholesale and local market.
A DSO-Level Contract Market for Conditional Demand Response
This paper proposes a fixed-term (e.g., monthly) Demand Response (DR) contract market. Based on the outcomes of this market, the Distribution System Operator (DSO) pays DR aggregators to modify power…
A framework for the provision of flexibility services at the transmission and distribution levels through aggregator companies
TLDR
A hierarchical control framework is proposed that enables the provision of flexibility services in power systems through aggregation entities and is applied on an aggregation of residential buildings in the Netherlands which are equipped with photovoltaic installations and battery-based energy storage systems.
