P&C engineering
Evaluating protection logic and verifying SEL, GE and Siemens relay integration end to end.
SYSTEM NORMAL · ALL SCHEMES IN SERVICE
Protection that operates
exactly as designed.
I'm Shiva Manickchand, a Protection & Control technologist at Hydro One. For about eight years I've commissioned and tested the relays, schemes and telemetry that keep Ontario's grid reliable before anything is energized.

Where I'm pointing next
Digital substations
GOOSE messaging, station networks and the telecom layer that modern schemes depend on.
OT cybersecurity
Keeping the networks behind protection and SCADA as dependable as the relays themselves.
Power system software
Tools that turn system data and test results into faster, clearer engineering decisions.
