ORGANIZED BY ECOSD NETWORK

SPRING SCHOOL “ECO-DESIGN OF COMPLEX SYSTEMS”

ECOSD

EcoSD (Eco-conception de systèmes durables, standing for Eco-design of Sus-tainable Systems) Network is a French association with the objective of encoura-ging collaboration between academic and industrial researchers in order to create and spread advanced knowledge in eco-design fields. This initiative aims at helping a global sustainable development process at national and interna-tional scales.

ORGANISERS

This spring school is funded by EcoSD, and also supported by the Design So-ciety. It is hosted by CentraleSupélec and co-organized by CentraleSupélec, Su-pméca and AgroParisTech, three French “Grandes Ecoles”. It is validated by the doctoral school “Interfaces” of Université Paris-Saclay.

29 May - 2 June 2017CentraleSupélec, Chatenay-Malabry, France

This spring school is open to 20 people from EcoSD network and the Design Society. It is su-pervised by Pr. Bernard Yannou, administrator of EcoSD and member of the Design Society.

CONTENT

PREREQUISITESA basic knowledge of eco-design and Life Cycle Assesment is needed.

OBJECTIVESEco-designing products and services is already a hard and often ill-defined task since it involves both lifecy-cle modelling and multi-criteria decision analysis. But eco-designing complex systems is still harder for many reasons. This doctoral workshop aims at both defining the industrial and scientific issues of eco-desi-gning complex systems – products, services, plants, socio-technical systems – and presenting practical so-lutions for modelling, simulating, optimising and making decisions on the best solutions in the design stage.

Our understanding of a complex industrial system is:A large-scale system (high number of subsystems and components, mass and resources);•With a hardly predictable life cycle (lifetime, upgrades, maintenance, end-of-life…);•Whose subsystems may have different life cycles and lifetimes;•In close interaction with its environment (super system, geographic site…);•Supervised by human decisions and management.•

Some examples of such complex systems, which are taken all along the doctoral workshop, are:Eco-design of an electrical substation of an aluminium plant (9,000 tonnes of metal and concrete lasting •30 to 40 years, costing 80 million Euros, with few idea on how to recycle it);Eco-design of food packaging providing the multiple usage conditions and recycling facilities of coun-•tries;Eco-design of a value chain for recycling automotive glazing;•Eco-design of a food value chain;•Eco-optimisation of a navy shuttle;•Eco-design of automotive systems through circularity measurements;•Design of eco-industrial parks.•

The complex systems are dealt through several perspectives: Life-Cycle Assessment;•User behaviour modelling;•Technico-economic value networks;•Design and performance optimisation;•Eco-ideation and eco-innovation;•Industrial ecology and circular economy.•

This doctoral training alternates theory and practice. More than half of the time is spend on case studies, where participants are asked to apply proposed methodologies and tools, and research workshops, where they are asked to speak about their research issues.

1. INTRODUCTIONThis first module introduces complexity in eco-design and a brief presentation of participants’ issues. Participants are asked to prepare 2 slides on the “complex system” issues they consider to have.

2. CONCEPTS & METHODS FOR ECO-DESIGNING COMPLEX SYSTEMSPr. Bernard Yannou makes an overview of concepts which are addressed by eco-designing complex systems and sui-table methods of design engineering.

3. ECO-COMPLEXITY OF AGRIFOOD CHAINSDr. Gwenola Yannou-Le Bris proposes an overview of the complex case of agrifood chains as a way to introduce the sta-kes of LCA perimeters. She highlights the importance of the social aspects approaches in the food value chains cases.

4. DESIGN FOR USER IMPACTPr. Bernard Yannou focuses on issues dealing with user behaviour modelling and its impact in eco-design, notably

through the example of modelling user behaviour in energy systems.

5. LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT OF COMPLEX SYSTEMSDr.YannLeroyandDr.FrançoisCluzelmakeafocusonLifeCycleAssessment(LCA)forcomplexsystems.Thechallen-ges are here to define a relevant study perimeter (e.g. functional unit) and to deal with data and life cycle uncertainties.

The art of defining probabilized life cycle scenarios is discussed.

7. VALUE NETWORKS OF COMPLEX SYSTEMSDr.RomainFarelmakesalectureonvaluenetworksofcomplexsystems.Theobjectiveofthisworkshopistogivetheparticipant a step by step method for designing value chain from scratch for multi-stakeholder industrial systems.

6. ECO-OPTIMISATION OF COMPLEX SYSTEMSPr. Pierre-Alain Yvars proposes a half-day module on eco-optimisation of complex systems. The purpose is to show how to take into account early and various types of requirements in the design process of complex systems to allow early ar-chitecture generation and pre-sizing early simulations of performances. The techniques used are set-based design

tools and methods.

8. CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND CIRCULARITY INDICATORSPr.BernardYannou,Dr.YannLeroy,Dr.FrançoisCluzelandM.ScMichaelSaidaniintroducetheissueofassessingcir-cularity performance at different systemic levels. Through the workshop, several tools aiming at measuring circularity ofmaterials/products/systemswillbeexperimentedonareal world industrial case study. Participants will question the strengths, complementary and weaknesses of each approach in the light of the circular economy, and in response to industrial practitioners willing to improve the circularity of their systems.

10. DESIGN OF ECO-INDUSTRIAL PARKSAn eco-industrial park is a set of businesses within a geographic area that share resources in order to increase profitability and reduce environmental impact. An important element of eco-industrial parks are by-product exchange relationships. One industrial plant’s waste can be another plant’s resource. Companies can make profit by selling their by-products and at the same time reduce their environmental impact. Designing eco-industrial parks requires sophisticated modelling methods, multidisciplinary simulations, and needs to take into account economic, environmental, and social as-pects. Within this module, participants will learn the fundamental concepts of industrial ecology and eco-industrial parks. They will further learn basic approaches to identify and assess the feasibility of by-product exchanges. The participants will then apply their knowledge hands-on by designing a by-product exchange relationship in a team exercise.

11. RESEARCH WORKSHOPThe participants are asked to re-analyze their research issues on complex systems to the light of the summer school and the bibliographical material provided. Participants are also asked to propose research leads and a clear roadmap which are discussed by the group and teachers.
