Renewable Energy Communities (RECs) play a critical role in advancing the energy transition towards a decentralized, distributed, and increasingly digitalized energy system. Through local energy trading within the distribution network, RECs have the potential to significantly enhance the flexibility of the energy system. This interaction, however, introduces complex challenges between REC operators and distribution network operators, necessitating robust analytical approaches. Leveraging Stackelberg game theory, this study models the hierarchical relationship between these entities, positioning the REC operator as the leader and the distribution network operator as the follower. To address the inherent uncertainties in renewable energy resources, Multi-Objective Information Gap Decision Theory (MO-IGDT) is employed, alongside flexibility constraints to ensure stability and efficiency in the system amidst fluctuations in REC output power. A bilevel optimization model, initially formulated as a mixed-integer linear program, is simplified into a single-level problem using Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions. The findings underscore the benefits of integrating Community Energy Storage (CES) with renewable energy sources within an REC, demonstrating a 3.39 % increase in profits and a significant 51.23 % reduction in dependency on the upstream grid, highlighting the potential of RECs to enhance both economic and operational resilience in modern energy systems.
