OptiEnergy
AI-Driven Energy & Asset Optimization Platform
Page last modified
December 3 2025
OptiEnergy is an AI-driven energy and asset optimization platform that uses real-time plant and control system data to continuously improve how gas-fired generators, hybrid power systems, and industrial loads are operated. The system ingests data from generators, process equipment, and environmental sensors, applies physics-based and machine-learning models to understand true performance and losses, and then recommends or automatically applies optimal setpoints and dispatch strategies.
OptiEnergy optimizes across multiple objectives - fuel cost, efficiency, emissions intensity, reliability, and user-defined KPIs - at both unit and fleet level. Operators can start in advisory mode, viewing recommendations and quantified impacts (e.g., fuel savings, CO₂e reduction, avoided run hours), and then progress to partial or full closed-loop control where appropriate, within defined safety and operating envelopes.
The platform is designed for fast deployment using existing DCS/SCADA/PLC and historian infrastructure, with dashboards and alerts for operators, engineers, and management. When combined with VL Energy’s ES-PEMS, OptiEnergy uses compliance-grade emissions data as part of the optimization objective, enabling operators to simultaneously reduce energy cost and emissions intensity while maintaining regulatory confidence.
Pros & Limitations
1
Reduced fuel and energy cost – Optimizes generator loading, setpoints, and operating strategies, typically delivering measurable reductions in fuel consumption and operating cost.
1
Lower emissions intensity – Improves efficiency and eliminates unnecessary run hours, reducing CO₂e per MWh or per unit of production; when combined with ES-PEMS, optimization is driven by compliance-grade emissions data.
1
Fleet-level visibility and control – Provides a unified view of performance across multiple units and sites, enabling better dispatch decisions and cross-site benchmarking.
1
Software-based and fast to deploy – Leverages existing DCS/SCADA/PLC and historic infrastructure; no need for major hardware changes, making pilots and scale-up faster and lower risk.
1
Supports advisory and closed-loop modes – Can start as an operator decision-support tool and evolve to partial or full closed-loop optimization within defined safety and operating envelopes.
0
Data and integration dependent – Performance depends on the quality and availability of plant data and successful integration with existing control and historic systems. Upon collection of more data, forecasting becomes more precise and reliable.
