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.

Based on Python / Pyomo. Using Python / Pandas for data processing.
