Incorporating conservation laws explicitly into matrix product states (MPSs) has proven to make numerical simulations of quantum many-body systems much less resource consuming. We will discuss here to what extent this concept can be used in simulation where the dynamically evolving entities are matrix product operators (MPOs). Quite counter-intuitively the expectation of gaining in speed by sacrificing information about all but a single symmetry sector is not in all cases fulfilled. It turns out that often the entanglement imposed by the global constraint of fixed particle number is the limiting factor.
