| Summary: | <p dir="ltr">Modern power systems face increasing operational challenges due to the integration of renewable energy sources (RESs) and evolving demand patterns. Demand flexibility (DF) has emerged as a transformative solution by dynamically adjusting electricity consumption to align with grid conditions. This review systematically investigates DF in distribution networks through three critical dimensions: quantification methodologies, regulatory frameworks, and techno-economic impacts. Advanced quantification methods, including time-varying elasticity models, alternating current (AC) multi-temporal optimal power flow simulations, and region-based flexibility quantification techniques, are examined to establish accurate measurement frameworks. The regulatory and market mechanisms promoting DF adoption are analyzed, emphasizing dynamic pricing schemes and performance-based incentives. The role of policy in overcoming barriers such as consumer resistance, data privacy concerns, and limited market access for aggregators is critically evaluated. The techno-economic impacts of DF integration reveal significant benefits in grid reliability and infrastructure investment deferral, while highlighting implementation challenges. Through a synthesis of cutting-edge methodologies, this review provides actionable insights for researchers, policymakers, and industry stakeholders advancing resilient, flexible distribution networks in the evolving energy landscape.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: IEEE Access<br>License: <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.en" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1109/access.2025.3548526" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1109/access.2025.3548526</a></p> |
