A type of product to be bought by system operators on a flexibility market. This resource is a read-only enumeration.

Context

The list of product types is defined by national terms and conditions with reference to table of equivalences.

The following is a list of product types, with their corresponding product categories and example/specific products. NODES/EuroFlex currently has three congestion products: LongFlex, ShortFlex and MaxUsage. Statnett has a set of products, and we also used a nice overview from Energinet as input.

The list of product types is defined for discussion and will probably be adjusted/extended.
