Systematic review evaluates software and algorithms supporting renewable energy communities, guiding stakeholders in tool selection and improvement.

This review aims to analyze software and algorithms used for implementing Renewable Energy Communities (RECs).
Conducted a systematic literature review following the PRISMA methodology.
Included 420 reports grouped into 311 unique studies across various development phases.
Evaluated software functions, openness, interoperability, and decision-support capabilities.
Most contributions focus on modelling phases, particularly feasibility studies and REC design.
Comprehensive software for simulation and techno-economic analysis is available, but operational tools are often prototypes.
Stakeholder engagement, construction, and long-term operation software remain underdeveloped.

Chierici et al. (2026) studied this question.
