      abstract     = {The ongoing energy transition is leading to structural
                      changes within the electrical distribution grids. With the
                      anticipated increase in photovoltaic systems, electric
                      vehicles, heat pumps, and battery storage systems,
                      distribution grid operators must expect their grids to be
                      subject to increasing operational stress. In addition to
                      long-term grid development, grid operators must resolve an
                      increasing number of grid congestion in the operational
                      short-term as part of grid congestion management. The
                      additional connected decentralized energy resources offer
                      operational flexibility potentials that can be used to
                      resolve grid congestion issues. Unlocking these potentials
                      is the subject of ongoing discussions. An alternative to the
                      regulatory exploitation of decentralized flexibility
                      potentials for grid congestion management is the use of
                      market-based approaches within the framework of a local
                      flexibility market. On such a local market platform, the
                      flexibility of decentralized units can be offered
                      voluntarily and based on bids, which are then used by the
                      grid operator to resolve congestion. When considering
                      flexibility market-based grid congestion management, the
                      interactions between the actors in the flexibility market
                      are particularly important, so that the supply and demand
                      sides of the market must be considered jointly. The aim of
                      this work was therefore, to assess the operational impact of
                      flexibility market-based grid congestion management for
                      flexibility providers and grid operators. As part of the
                      work, models for determining marketing and operational
                      decisions are developed. A distinction is made between
                      passively marketed units and units actively marketed by an
                      aggregator. In passive marketing, decentralized plants are
                      used exclusively to cover their demand or to optimize
                      self-consumption. Aggregators that market the units at a
                      grid node have access to the wholesale energy markets and
                      the flexibility market and operate with the aim of
                      maximizing contribution margins. To determine the optimal
                      quantity bids on the markets, an optimization model is
                      developed, which takes into account, among other things, the
                      technical constraints of units and the anticipated revenue
                      opportunities. To estimate the demand for grid-supportive
                      flexibility, distribution grid operation is simulated and
                      grid congestion management measures are determined. For this
                      purpose, current and voltage-related congestion is
                      identified and linear sensitivity factors are derived.
                      Subsequently, an optimization method is used to determine
                      the optimal flexibility usage for resolving the congestion.
                      The developed method is applied to a medium-voltage grid
                      section with subordinate low-voltage grids for a future
                      scenario. Congestion at the medium-voltage level is resolved
                      with the help of flexibility from the same and subordinate
                      grid levels. Access to the flexibility market is varied in
                      different scenarios so that smaller, decentralized units can
                      also access the flexibility market. It can be seen that
                      lowering the barriers to market entry leads to a sharp
                      increase in the volume of flexibility offered and that
                      flexibility is provided from a wide range of different
                      units. In the grid section examined, the existence of a
                      flexibility market does not lead to any significant change
                      in grid load, which is characterized in particular by high
                      generation surpluses due to the existing photovoltaic
                      systems. The grid congestion management measures to
                      eliminate the congestion that occurs are characterized by
                      the flexibility usage from different technologies. It also
                      shows that the provision of flexibility must be tailored to
                      demand in terms of location, time, and direction, and that
                      in certain situations a flexibility deficit can occur.},
