Engineering design of green hybrid energy production and supply chains

There is a national and international move towards green energy production and supply chains. This requires a systematic engineering design approach that enables government and private energy producers and agents to design and operate the target green hybrid energy production chains in flexible and optimized manner. This research paper presents analytical view and process modeling and engineering design framework to design and evaluate green hybrid energy production / supply chains. Process models are constructed on the basis of process object oriented modeling methodology, or POOM. Performance indicators are evaluated in different hierarchical levels using risk-based life cycle and environmental assessment framework, which is essential to evaluate different energy production chain scenarios based on risk and environmental perspectives. Case study is illustrated to explain the proposed engineering design of energy production chains, which is evaluated using developed computer-aided process engineering environment.
