* [ESSIM](/esdl/esdl-based-tools/essim.md): Energy System Simulator
* [EDR](/esdl/esdl-based-tools/energy-data-repository.md): Energy Data Repository
* ESSIM financial: Gives insight in the effects of investments in the energy system of one or more stakeholders on the cashflows between all stakeholders in this system
* ESDL based loadflow calculation of electricity grids
