This paper presents a model in which distribution system operator can take advantage of the flexibility of endusers to overcome some operation issues on low voltage networks. Distributed generation based on renewable energy sources connected to these kinds of networks are challenging the conventional control and operation framework designed for passive distribution networks. Considering this, the proposed research work presents an approach based on mixed integer quadratic problem using the flexibility available in the endusers to minimize the operation costs of distribution system operator. For this goal, it is seeking the minimization of power losses and flexibility acquisition costs. The presented case study considers a realistic low voltage network with 256 bus and 96 connected end-users to show the approach effectiveness.
