Bia Soft is a start up company specializing in power systems operations simulation, control and optimization founded by an ex university professor. The main objective of the company is to provide advanced analysis and optimization methods for custom problems too complex or too specific to be solved with commercial off-the-shelf software. Power systems can be very large and non-linear and notoriously difficult to understand qualitatively and even more difficult to solve quantitatively. Very frequently, it is quite difficult, or even impossible, to formulate a problem to be solved with an available commercial software and that is where Bia Soft custom solutions can help.
