 +===== Peer-to-peer energy trading (P2P), transactive energy (TE) and community/collective self-consumption (CSC) models - based on Users TCP - [Watson et al. 2022] =====
 +
 + 
 +
 + 
 +
 +"...we define **P2P** according to the following characteristics: it is a sub-market that can operate alongside traditional energy markets. Individuals can trade energy within a community, which can be bound locally or encompass virtual trading across a large geographical region. Participants can be heterogeneous in type but are typically small scale and equal in size. Although P2P markets are set up to encourage competitive behaviour, with economic incentives and prosumers having individual trading preferences and goals, the overall market aim generally pertains to social, environmental, and energy democratisation benefits."
 +
 + 
 +
 +"We therefore characterise TE as a non traditional business model that allows energy end-users to have greater control over their energy trading preferences. It typically provides economic incentives for participants to trade energy in a manner that supports electricity grid balancing. The system can operate across various levels of the electricity grid. Similar to P2P, participants are typically small scale and equal in size. Different types of energy can be traded. The primary value of TE tends to pertain to system such as grid stability and reliability while supporting increasing installation of DER and RES."
 +
 + 
 +
 +"...we define CSC as a community-oriented framework which operates as a legal entity and focuses on creating shared benefits for local communities. The system is typically bound by the local LV network or a small geographical region. Participants are typically small-scale consumers and prosumers, and ownership of generation assets can be shared within the community."
