Abstract: An overview of recent developments, trends and challenges in the synthesis, design and operation optimization of energy systems is presented in this manuscript. The static and dynamic optimization problems are stated mathematically, solution methods are mentioned in brief and classification of optimization problems based on the presence and treatment of time is presented. Examples of objective functions in single-objective optimization are given and the need for multi-objective optimization is highlighted. Special reference is made to Prof. Szargut's early statement about the need for optimization with ecological concerns.
