    Market-based congestion management has been proposed as a more efficient means of coping with congestion issues in zonal market designs. However, strategic behaviour has been identified as a fundamental problem of market-based approaches. This paper focuses on strategic behaviour in the setting of a local flexibility market. In this type of market, trading occurs in parallel with the intraday market and flexibility is verified by reporting baselines through a verification platform. Under these conditions, market monitoring based on statistical tests is presented as a countermeasure. By implementing tests that are robust against autocorrelation and based on the illustrative example, it is shown that the identification of strategic behaviour is possible. In combination with appropriate regulatory sanctioning, strategic behaviour can become less attractive and, in the best case, be prevented leading to a reduction in congestion management costs. The simplified example presented in this paper can serve as a basis for more complex use cases where additional factors need to be considered.

    Background and content of the thesis:
    The infeed of intermittent renewable energy sources (RES) increases in the European energy system and subsequently its relevance for several market participants. Predic-tions of RES infeed are used, among others, in energy trading and power plant dis-patch. Particularly rare events of low RES infeed are significant in analyses on security of supply, due to the high share of RES infeed in the total power generation. Security of supply and generation adequacy specifically is assessed in probabilistic approaches with simulation models, that generate many realizations of energy system uncertain-ties such as RES infeed. In a simulation model, distributional models, such as general-ized additive models for location and shape (GAMLSS), are a promising approach to estimate non-parametric distributions of RES-infeed.
    This master thesis aims to develop, implement, and evaluate a distributional model to estimate the distribution of onshore wind infeed in Germany, incorporating relevant exogenous factors. The focus of this work will be on parameterizing the distributional model, involving extensive data preparation and exploration. Subsequently, a case study will be conducted, simulating the onshore wind infeed using a simulation model based on the estimated distribution.
