Methods and Tools: Explain the methodologies and tools used in the studies outlined in the paper'' 5 Summary and Outlook In this review, Power-to-X technologies are defined more generally than in conventional literature as processes with the goal to exploit the environmental and economic potential of renewable electricity. According to this definition, such technologies comprise DSM, e-Production, and electricity storage. These different approaches for the common goal of utilization of electricity with a high share of RES offer different economic and environmental benefits depending on average electricity prices and fluctuations as well as depending on the electricity average carbon footprint and fluctuations, but they share common challenges. DSM is worthwhile especially for electricity-intensive processes: for CA electrolysis, electricity costs can be saved if variable operation is implemented and oversizing considered. However, the dynamic operation also brings challenges, e.g., limitations on Cl2 storage. It is demonstrated how such a limitation can be overcome by a novel modeswitching operation. For e-Production, two main challenges are identified: technology selection and efficiency improvement. Optimization-based methods give insight into conflicting performance indicators of competing products and processes, e.g., production cost and GWP reduction for e-fuel production, and support decision-making systematically. An additional system-level process analysis using detailed models reveals bottlenecks and can finally lead to significant efficiency improvements as well as GWP and cost reductions. For the ammonia-based electricity storage, optimization-based process design enables a round-trip efficiency of the combined synthesis process that can even exceed the one of electricity storage based on H2 directly. Despite many challenges that have been addressed successfully by PSE methods, there are still open questions and challenges left. Particularly relevant for electrolysis, i.e., a key element of many Power-to-X technologies, the risk of deteriorating equipment lifetime due to flexible operation of Power-to-X processes needs to be investigated. Research regarding this via both experiments and simulations is ongoing; however, long-term compatibility of the material under highly dynamic operation has not been demonstrated conclusively yet. In addition, uncertainties due to external parameters influence decision-making regarding Power-to-X technologies significantly and must be addressed in process design and operation. Especially, uncertainties in future electricity price and carbon footprint in both short and long terms need to be accounted for via prediction methods. This will play a key role for a successful implementation of Power-to-X technologies. All these challenges need to be tackled by further research''

Methods and Tools: Explain the methodologies and tools used in the studies outlined in the paper.''3 Beneficial Utilization of Electricity by Power-to-X Here, Power-to-X processes are defined as processes with the goal to exploit the environmental and economic potential of renewable electricity. This comprises the production of gases and liquids from renewable electricity as well as the provision of heat with the intention to replace fossil-based products, which is called e-Production. Additionally, this definition encompasses the older fields of electricity storage and DSM. With this definition, Power-to-X is not restricted to technologies for the conversion of predominantly electric power into products that are currently based on fossil sources. With DSM, it also incorporates approaches that enable the utilization of renewable electricity for industrial processes that have not been able to utilize such in an effective way until now. We believe that such a broad definition is useful to highlight the relationship and overlap of these fields that become particularly apparent in many Power-to-X technologies falling into more than one of these three categories (gray areas in Fig. 3). We explicitly confine our definition to processes that aim at utilizing renewable electricity and exclude, e.g., general energy management technologies from our definition of Power-to-X. However, contrary to their intended purpose, associated technologies could in principle also utilize other types of energy sources, e.g., for producing synthetic fuels from nuclear power in one country and transport it to another one. In the following, these three main approaches for a beneficial utilization of renewable electricity are briefly introduced, their relations are identified, and their opportunities and common challenges are stated''
