Abstract

Operations Research (OR) plays a crucial role in optimizing energy systems, which are becoming increasingly complex due to advancements in technology and the growing demand for sustainable energy solutions. This paper explores the application of OR techniques in the optimization of energy systems, focusing on the integration of renewable energy sources, the management of energy storage, and the enhancement of overall system efficiency. The study reviews various OR methods, including linear programming, network flow analysis, and simulation models, which are utilized to address the challenges of energy systems design, operation, and planning. The integration of these methods allows for the identification of optimal operational strategies, cost reductions, and improvements in energy sustainability. Furthermore, the paper discusses the importance of considering uncertainties and constraints in the optimization process, emphasizing the need for robust and adaptive OR models. The findings suggest that OR provides a powerful toolset for decision-makers in the energy sector, enabling them to achieve sustainable and cost-effective energy systems.
