Abstract: It is expected that end-users from all sectors should participate in providing system flexibility, as variable renewable energy is increasingly integrated into electricity systems. The ability of end-users to shift their electricity profiles has considerable potentials and can serve many purposes, e.g. to curb the peak load or to increase self-consumption. However, evaluation methods designed for flexibility from conventional power plants may be inadequate for flexibility from end-users due to the diverse constraints of underlying processes and limitations related to individual needs. This work presents a comprehensive and modular flexibility model developed from common operational characteristics of flexible processes as an alternativemethod.
