This paper proposes a novel continuous Local Flexibility Market where active power flexibility located in the distribution system can be traded. The market design engages the Market Operator, the Distribution System Operator and Market Participants with dispatchable assets. The proposed market operates in a single distribution system and considers network constraints via AC network sensitivities, calculated at an initial network operating point. Trading is possible when AC network constraints are respected and when anticipated network violations are alleviated or resolved. The implementation allows for partial bid matching and is computationally light, therefore, suitable for continuous trading applications. The proposed design is thoroughly described and is demonstrated in a test distribution system. It is shown that active power trading in the proposed market design can lead to resolution of line overloads.
