Power systems engineering, born in academia and proven in industry.
Olivas Engineering & Technology is a Brazilian power systems engineering company headquartered in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. It combines the development of Olivas Power System Studio — a platform for industrial electrical studies — with high-complexity consulting and power electronics for the Power System (SEP) and for protection, control and supervision systems (SPCS).
Born in academia, it blends scientific rigor with the practice of mission-critical plants — delivering traceable studies, auditable reports and solutions that protect assets and lives.

academic roots & research
Two fronts
Software and consulting — complementary, never competing.
A simple decision: do you want the tool to do it yourself, or the engineering to have it delivered? Olivas serves both paths, without overlap.
Specialist consulting
We run the high-complexity studies and sign the report — from transients to arc-flash — when you want the finished result, not the tool.
