contents Renewable Energy Sources play a key role in smart energy systems. To achieve 100% renewable energy, utilizing the flexibility potential on the demand side becomes the cost-efficient option to balance the grid. However, it is not trivial to exploit these available capacities and flexibility options profitably. The amount of available flexibility is a complex and time-varying function of the price signal and weather forecasts. In this work, we use a Flexibility Function to represent the relationship between the price signal and the demand and investigate optimization problems for the price signal computation. Consequently, this study considers the higher and lower levels in the hierarchy from the markets to appliances, households, and districts. This paper investigates optimal price generation via the Flexibility Function and studies its employment in controller design for demand-side management, its capability to provide ancillary services for balancing throughout the Smart Energy Operating System, and its effect on the physical level performance. Sequential and simultaneous approaches for computing the price signal, along with various cost functions are analyzed and compared. Simulation results demonstrate the generated price/penalty signal and its employment in a model predictive controller.
