In this article, the importance of considering operability and control criteria in the analysis and design of intensified and modular processes is discussed. We first analyze the impact on operability of key factors including: (i) degrees of freedom, (ii) process constraints, (iii) numbering up vs. scaling up, and (iv) dynamic/periodic operation. Comparative examples are presented to showcase the pros and cons in intensified/modular systems vs. their conventional counterparts from operability and control aspects. Then we look into metrics and tools to address these challenges such as: (i) flexibility analysis, (ii) operability‐based design, and (iii) advanced model‐based control. Considering different conceptual design stages as synthesis intensification, steady‐state design, and dynamic operational optimization, we highlight the need to incorporate different levels of operability considerations. Future research opportunities and perspectives are also identified, particularly emphasizing the importance of a holistic strategy for integrated design, operability, and control of intensified and modular process systems.

过程强化和模块化设计中的可操作性和控制：挑战与机遇

在本文中，讨论了在强化和模块化过程的分析和设计中考虑可操作性和控制标准的重要性。我们首先分析关键因素对可操作性的影响，这些关键因素包括：（i）自由度，（ii）过程约束，（iii）编号与按比例放大以及（iv）动态/定期操作。从可操作性和控制方面，提供了比较示例，以展示增强型/模块化系统与常规系统相比的优缺点。然后，我们研究解决这些挑战的指标和工具，例如：（i）灵活性分析，（ii）基于可操作性的设计和（iii）基于模型的高级控制。考虑到不同的概念设计阶段，如综合强化，稳态设计和动态运行优化，我们强调需要纳入不同级别的可操作性考虑因素。还确定了未来的研究机会和观点，尤其强调了整体策略对于集成设计，可操作性以及对强化和模块化过程系统进行控制的重要性。
