Data of modelling tools for energy planning

Data of different modelling tools for energy planning. This information can be used by the scientific community, policymakers, and modellers interested in national or local energy planning. The data presented here was collected from the literature using a systematic approach (PRISMA). It includes a description and classification of the most commonly used energy modelling tools according to the following characteristics: general purposes, specific purposes, analytical approach, underlying methodology, mathematical approach, geographical coverage, time horizon, time resolution, sector coverage, renewable technologies, modelling tool accessibility and appearance in literature.
