Abstract
Nowadays, the proportion of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) is growing fast. The grid needs a new design that enhances the power system. In this regards, a new form of local initiative, called of energy communities, can boost the transition by providing optimal integration of prosumers into the system. This paper presents a methodology for the provision of flexibility services delivered as market services to mitigate congestion problems at the distribution level through energy communities. Peaks shaving, backup power and power ramp rate reduction are formulated as services in this study. New business models can be developed in relation with this technological, regulatory and economic framework. This paper illustrates with a test case that energy communities are able to provide grid services, as well as leading to a considerable enhancement of community welfare and commitment.
