The area of research work is the analysis of selected aspects of the functioning of local flexibility markets. Due to the growing share of distributed energy resources (DER) and the move away from the centralized dispersed power system, it is necessary to introduce actions aimed at ensuring security and supply of electricity at the local level. The solution is to introduce dedicated services and products (so-called flexibility services and products) of the local area (used in a given node) to ensure the proper functioning of the energy area, ensure the reliability of its operation and maintain quality parameters of electricity. To provide continuity of balancing demand and generation at this level of supply, the full cooperation of production resources (microgeneration and small generation) and end-users such as industrial, commercial (tertiary), and households, as well as the use of battery energy storage is necessary. Therefore, the most important issue at the beginning of the work is to define what flexibility and the flexibility market is. Then the legal, technical, and economic requirements for the functioning of the local flexibility market should be defined and the variant simulations carried on.
