Abstract: Integrating renewable energy sources into electricity systems is essential for achieving a sustainable, low-carbon future. Despite the benefits, the intermittent and variable nature of renewable power generation introduces significant challenges, highlighting the need for increased system flexibility. Although previous studies emphasize the importance of incentives to attract customer participation in flexibility provision and to ensure the viability of the aggregator business model, there remains a lack of a systematic, comprehensive, and integrated incentive model. This research introduces a comprehensive Incentive-Based Framework designed to harmonise the objectives of three key stakeholders: aggregators, small-load flexibility providers (customers), and system operators, including distribution and transmission system operators.
