Siddharth Balakrishnan

A highly motivated Renewable Energy specialist with experience in analysing, designing, and optimising renewable energy technologies, including wind, solar PV, and hydrogen, I am eager to contribute to the energy sector. Leveraging my dual Master's degrees in Sustainable Energy Technologies and Energy Economics, I bring technical expertise and financial acumen to drive innovation in power market modelling and optimisation. Proficient in energy modelling, performance analysis, and working with large datasets, I utilise tools such as C, Python and MATLAB to develop and enhance optimisation frameworks.

• Diverse Renewable Energy Experience: Experience spans across wind (onshore and offshore), solar PV, and hydrogen technologies.
• Optimization Focus: Experience in optimizing energy systems using methods like Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP).
• Strong Analytical Skills: Proficient in energy modeling, performance analysis, statistical analysis, and financial analysis.
• Programming and Software Proficiency: Skilled in programming languages (C, C++, Python) and energy modeling tools (PVSyst, Homer, WindPro, MATLAB).
• Data Handling Expertise: Experience working with large datasets and utilizing tools like Excel, Python, and SQL for data analysis.
• Practical Experience: Demonstrated experience through research assistant roles (designing and optimizing energy systems) and energy consultant roles (designing and implementing renewable energy solutions).

• MSc in Sustainable Energy Technologies:
  • Emphasis on UK energy markets and forecasting.
  • Experience modelling grid stability and analysing emissions factors.
• MA in Economics (Energy Specialisation):
  • In-depth knowledge of energy markets, supply and demand, and energy policy.
  • Focus on energy modelling and forecasting techniques.
• BE in Electrical and Electronics Engineering:
  • Foundational knowledge in power systems, electrical circuits, and related areas.
• Certificate in Energy Market Analysis and Forecasting (London School of Business and Research)
