Community Secondary Energy Trading Markets (CSEM) was established to: 1) deal with the challenge of the sheer variability of local renewable energy; 2) maximizing DES efficiency. In CSEM, we suppose secondary energy is a general manufactured products and it can be traded between different stakeholders. The transaction of secondary energy commodity between different secondary energy consumers and producers based on the trading price, which price is depend on secondary energy production cost and transportation cost. The comparison of CSEM and traditional primary energy markets has been examined. CSEM's mechanism of action and structure also has been introduced.
