Nonlinear optimization solver

OLES. Optimization for better design and operations.

Our flagship general-purpose solver. OLES solves nonlinear optimization problems in engineering and operations, across industries. Your team can integrate it directly, or rely on OptimAI to build and maintain the model that uses it.

One solver, different problems

The model represents your problem. OLES searches for a solution within its constraints.

Across industries

The problem defines the model: equipment design, process settings or infrastructure operations.

Nonlinear relationships

Account for how costs, performance and technical limits change as your decisions change.

Use it at the layer you need

Integrate OLES through an API or SDK, start from an OptimAI packaged model, or let us implement the complete production workflow.

One example

Energy dispatch when every decision interacts

This example shows OLES coordinating storage, flexible demand and energy purchasing under real tariffs and operating constraints. The same engine architecture can support broader physical and operational models.

Renewables Battery (discharge) Battery (charging) Grid / gas Demand
Expensive block
0h12h24h
US$ 1.920
Cost of the day · US$ 2.840 unoptimized
62 MW
Peak grid draw · 97 MW unoptimized

The engine charges storage when energy is abundant and discharges into the expensive block while respecting the operating limits.

Illustrative dispatch example. OLES is the underlying optimization engine, not a battery-only product.

Energy examples

One application area, not the solver's limit

These examples illustrate energy decisions that can be modeled for OLES. Its scope extends beyond this sector.

Storage dispatch

Schedule charge and discharge against prices, degradation, technical limits and the needs of the operation.

Peak and capacity management

Coordinate flexible assets and loads to reduce demand peaks without violating operational requirements.

Flexible-load scheduling

Move flexible processes when it creates value, while preserving production and service commitments.

On-site generation

Coordinate consumption, storage, export and generation with the rest of the operation.

Microgrids and critical sites

Coordinate generation, backup, storage and controllable demand under technical and reliability constraints.

Energy procurement and markets

Connect buying, dispatch and flexibility decisions to forecasts, market signals and the operation's real constraints.

Engine, packaged model, or complete deployment

Use OLES through API/SDK interfaces, configure it through an OptimAI model, or have us integrate the complete decision workflow into your existing systems.

  • Connect engineering data, historical records or operational systems
  • API, SDK and MCP interfaces for software teams and AI workflows
  • Start offline or in shadow mode before automating any action
  • Traceable results: objectives, constraints and assumptions remain inspectable
Your system: data, assets, rules
OLES: model + optimization
Feasible decision or deployed workflow

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What engineering and operations teams ask before using OLES.

No. OLES is our general-purpose nonlinear optimization solver. Energy is one application area, not a limitation of the solver. The model defines each problem's variables, objectives and constraints.

What do you need to optimize?

Show us the decision, the constraints and how you solve it today. We will tell you whether OLES is the right layer.
