description A significant challenge for the DSO (Distribution System Operator) will be to choose the optimum strategy for flexibility service in the LV area with high RES (renewable energy sources) penetration. To this end, a representative LV grid operated in Poland was selected for analysis. Three research scenarios with RES generation were presented in the range of 1–8 kW for the power factor from 0.9 to 1. The grid PV capacity was determined for four load profiles. Based on this factor, optimum RES volume management service types were determined. Under the flexibility service, the proposed power conversion services and active RES operations for DSO were proposed. The research was conducted using the Matlab and PowerWorld Simulator environment. Optimum active power values were obtained for the RES generation function for single and dual operation systems of the power conversion system. In future, the knowledge in the field of grid capacity will enable the DSO to increase the operating efficiency of the LV grid. It will enable the optimum use of the RES generation maximisation function and proper strategy selection. It will improve the energy efficiency of the power input through the MV/LV node.
