Multiple renewable and more efficient nonrenewable energy systems are studied these days. It is
thought that this task only concerns to some specialized fields like chemistry, mechanics, electricity or
hydraulics. However, The Industrial Engineering provide a group of skills to add value to any energy related
study. An energy system means many interconnected aspects such as: the primary energy source, the
conversion process, the desired product and the demand. All of them are variables that must be studied as one
system. An Industrial Engineer has unique planning and managing abilities to optimize and manage the
resources used in energy projects. This study shows some applications of the Industrial Engineer profile in the
developing of a new energy system.
