\ **Open** \ Generation, \ Storage, \ and \ **T**\ransmission Operation and \ **E**\xpansion \ **P**\lanning Model with RES and \ **ES**\S (**openTEPES**)

“*Simplicity and Transparency in Energy Systems Planning*”

The **openTEPES** model has been developed at the `Instituto de Investigación Tecnológica (IIT) <https://www.iit.comillas.edu/index.php.en>`_ of
the `Universidad Pontificia Comillas <https://www.comillas.edu/en/>`_.

The **openTEPES** model presents a decision support system for defining the integrated generation, storage, and transmission expansion plan (GEP+SEP+TEP) of a **large-scale electric system** at a tactical level (i.e., time horizons of 10-20 years),
defined as a set of **generation, storage, and (electricity, hydrogen, and heat) networks dynamic investment decisions for multiple future years**.

It is integrated into the `open energy system modelling platform  <https://openenergymodels.net/>`_, helping model Europe's energy system.

It has been used by the **Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (MITECO)** to analyze the electricity sector in the latest Spanish `National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) 2023-2030 <https://energia.gob.es/_layouts/15/HttpHandlerParticipacionPublicaAnexos.ashx?k=64347>`_ in June 2023.
