Popis: Providing sufficient flexibility in modern power systems has become an unavoidable feature of sustainable energy systems. This flexibility should be supplied by different sectors and players of power systems. The role of demand especially prosumers in providing flexibility have recently been highlighted. In this regard, this paper presents a new flexibility-based algorithm for a Home Energy Management System (HEMS). The HEMS focuses on Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Electrical Energy Storage (EES) as main sources of flexibility products. Two main products, namely, positive and negative flexibility are defined as deviations from optimal energy schedules attained by the HEMS. Each flexibility' offer related to the device is offered at a specific price in the flexibility platform. Final flexibility plans are extracted after running a linear optimization model. It has been shown that these products can properly enhance the flexibility level of distribution systems and simultaneously impose no additional cost for prosumers.
