As future energy systems aim to be more efficient, cost-effective, environmentally benign, and interconnected with each other, their design and operation become ever challenging tasks for decision-makers, engineers, and scientists. Sustainability of life on earth will be heavily affected by the improvements of these complex energy systems. Therefore, experts from various fields need to come together to find common solution strategies. However, since different technologies are usually developed separately by their own technical community, a generally accepted unified systematic approach to tackle integrated systems is lacking. With this article, we want to introduce and highlight the power of energy systems engineering as a generic framework to arrive at synergistic solutions to complex energy and environmental problems. Tools of energy systems engineering are numerous, and its application areas cover a wide range of energy systems. In this commentary, we present an overview of state-of-the-art methodologies of energy systems engineering, list its applications and describe few examples in detail, and finally introduce some possible new directions.

“…A supply chain can be considered a collection of organizations / elements, selling / flowing articles and services, downstream and upstream across a supply chain. The traditional supply chain paradox focused on (1) maintaining quality deliverables; (2) reducing supply chain costs to maximize profit; (3) increasing customer satisfaction levels (Dias and Ierapetritou, 2017;Porter, 1980). Supply chains have evolved from producing simple but labour intensive articles to modern day highly complex modern articles which consist of globally accessible chemical substances, material and materials (Woinaroschy, 2016).…”

“…2). Chemical regulations define lists of substances against which specific actions need to be undertaken, such as (1) notifications to regulators; (2) material declarations from the supply chain; (3) declarations to consumers; (4) safe use guidance, (5) request authorized use of a substance request; (6) even prohibited use of a substance, this information requires substance identification at the article level (Ashby, 2009;Molander et al, 2012) Early research found compared reporting requirements varied between regulations (Molander and Rudén, 2012).…”

Chemical regulations exist to control hazardous chemical substance use within society. As more chemical substances become more regulated, industry must adapt and develop mechanisms to analyze and report data on substances used on their own, in mixtures or within materials. A chemical substance reporting system is required to ensure compliance by identifying the chemical substances used within a product, which can then be compared against regulated chemical substance lists to identify potential business risks, as well as providing safety data to consumers. This paper contributes to material compliance reporting literature by identifying a research gap and presenting a framework model to enable chemical substance information to be collated (internal and external) to allow for accurate chemical substance reporting.

“…11 Model based approaches that integrate scheduling decisions with faster time scale decisions are shown to be promising to account for the dynamic characteristics of the process. [12][13][14][15][16][17] Bhatia and Biegler 18 have proposed one of the first significant contributions to simultaneously address the process design, scheduling, and optimal control of a multipurpose batch process in a dynamic optimization formulation.…”

Simultaneous evaluation of multiple time scale decisions has been regarded as a promising avenue to increase the process efficiency and profitability through leveraging their synergistic interactions. Feasibility of such an integral approach is essential to establish a guarantee for operability of the derived decisions. In this study, we present a modeling methodology to integrate process design, scheduling, and advanced control decisions with a single mixed‐integer dynamic optimization (MIDO) formulation while providing certificates of operability for the closed‐loop implementation. We use multi‐parametric programming to derive explicit expressions for the model predictive control strategy, which is embedded into the MIDO using the base‐2 numeral system that enhances the computational tractability of the integrated problem by exponentially reducing the required number of binary variables. Moreover, we apply the State Equipment Network representation within the MIDO to systematically evaluate the scheduling decisions. The proposed framework is illustrated with two batch processes with different complexities.
