21st International Conference on the European Energy Market - EEM25, Lisbon (Portugal). 27-29 May 2025
Summary:
The mobility sector is expected to significantly impact the power system by deploying battery electric vehicles (BEV) and fuel cell vehicles (FCEV). This work improves CEVESA, a market model for the long-term planning and operation of the Iberian Electricity Market, by modelling FCEV as an alternative to BEV and internal combustion vehicles (ICEV), and its impact on the H2 demand and storage. The mobility and H2 economy models interact with the power system through the electricity needs and price. CEVESA is then applied to estimate potential expansion paths of ICEV, BEV and FCEV mobility alternatives considering the total system costs and the EU decarbonization strategy. The findings suggest that if FCEVs technology matures, it could rival BEVs, offering greater system flexibility via electrolyzers and extended driving ranges for users.
Spanish layman's summary:
El objetivo principal de este trabajo es la mejora del modelo de mercado CEVESA para estimar posibles planes de expansión para las alternativas de movilidad CV, EV y FCEV considerando los costes totales del sistema y la estrategia de descarbonización de la Unión Europea.
