RT Conference Proceedings T1 Technical Constraints and Flexibility Markets in Smart Grids A1 Moreno López de Saá, María Ángeles A1 Usaola García, Julio AB Technical constraints and flexibility management insmart grids are analyzed using a market based approach.Flexibility services may allow network operators to tackle gridconstraints in all timescales, maintaining reliability and qualityof service and maximizing integration of distributed energyresources. Here, only short term markets will be considered;consumer and DER flexibility will be used in order to solve thedistribution grid constraints (line/transformer overloads orvoltage limit violations) in the day-ahead framework. The maincontribution of the paper is a proposal of congestionmanagement in smart grids consistent with the wholesaleelectricity market already in use. The role of the new actors willbe highlighted to remark the consequences of regulatorydecisions to be taken in the next future.
