CEVESA is a dynamic model with hourly chronology for planning the expansion of electricity generation in the Spanish and Portuguese electricity systems that considers both the investments made by customers in distributed energy resources from generation and storage (DER) and by generators in conventional plants of thermal generation, renewable and centralized storage (CR). It also represents the Spanish transport sector by including investment decisions in electric vehicles (PEV) and internal combustion motor vehicles (ICEV), taking into account the deployment of infrastructure, fuel and the social and environmental costs of both transport technologies. In turn, CEVESA models investments and hourly operation of hydrogen (H2) production plants in Spain to cover a daily demand for H2 that allows representing a penetration scenario of vehicles powered by H2 (H2EV) or a satisfied H2 demand by renewable generation for other industrial uses. It is also a multizonal model that considers marketsplitting to represent interzonal flows.
