Congestion Management in Distribution Systems Based on Decentralized and Finite Flexibility Offers

Flexibility platforms help DSOs manage electricity demand and supply fluctuations, avoiding congestion—crucial as grids integrate renewables. This paper introduces FPM, a flexibility platform acting as a parallel market to aid DSOs in congestion management. It minimizes DSOs’ procurement costs while maximizing CSPs’ comfort. Efficient, scalable algorithms are employed, and results show that FPM is a promising and good alternative to be implemented.
