Shiva Beharrysingh is a PhD student at CREST. His research is centred on the impact of low-carbon technologies on low-voltage networks with focus on several network issues which may arise – including voltage and current unbalance, network capacity, losses and harmonics.
His interests are in electrical power systems analysis and simulation methods, wind energy and the grid integration of renewable energy systems.
He received his B.Sc. (E&C Eng.) and M.Sc. (Energy Systems) degrees from the University of the West Indies (UWI), St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago in 1999 and 2005 respectively. In 2009 he also completed the EUREC European Masters in Renewable Energy at Loughborough University, United Kingdom with specialization in wind energy at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), Greece.
He was a system planning engineer at the Trinidad and Tobago Electricity Commission from 2001 to 2007 and again briefly in 2009.
