       abstract = "A chemical plant layout for the production of syngas from renewable power,
         H₂O and biogas, is presented to ensure a steady productivity of syngas with a
         constant H₂-to-CO ratio under time-dependent electricity provision. An
         electrolyzer supplies H₂ to the reverse water-gas shift reactor. The system
         compensates for a drop in electricity supply by gradually operating a tri-reforming reactor, fed
         with pure O₂ directly from the electrolyzer or from an intermediate generic
         buffering device. After the introduction of modeling assumptions and governing equations, suitable
         reactor parameters are identified. Finally, two optimal control problems are investigated, where
         computationally expensive model evaluations are lifted
         via<monospace>parareal</monospace> and necessary objective derivatives are calculated
         via the continuous adjoint method. For the first time, modeling, simulation, and optimal control are
         applied to a combination of the reverse water-gas shift and tri-reforming reactor, exploring a
         promising pathway in the conversion of renewable power into chemicals.",
