Exergoeconomics has played an important role in the study of new energy systems in the last decades. The use of exergy as a “carrier of value” has made it possible to define an unambiguous criterion for allocating costs among energy systems products. The paper shows how exergoecomic procedures of analytical optimization and design improvement on heuristic basis have been progressively replaced by more efficient procedures aimed at minimizing an objective cost function, leaving exergoecomic cost evaluation as the final step. It also highlights how growing concerns about climate change and the continued growth of inequalities in energy availability have broadened the set of objectives in the search for the optimal integration of the design and operation of energy conversion units and network with intelligent methodologies to reduce energy demands. The objective of the article is twofold: i) present the evolution of the main Exergoeconomic methods and show how they have paved the way for Thermo-X Optimization methods; and ii) outline the path for developing a general model of society's entire energy system that includes a broader set of objectives and constraints in addition to economic ones to help build the energy system of the future with a more sustainable perspective. •It is shown how Exergoeconomic procedures paved the way to Thermo-X Optimizations.•The paper outlines the path towards a general model of society's entire energy system.•The need to avoid wastes to reduce energy demand in wealthier nations is stressed.
