Author Biographies

Imanka Dewayalage graduated from the University of Moratuwa Sri Lanka with a B.SC (Hons) degree in electrical engineering in 2018. He worked as a power system engineer in the power generation sector in Sri Lanka before pursuing higher studies. In 2020, he started his Ph.D degree (an onsite calibration system for high-frequency harmonic measurement in medium- and high-voltage power systems) in electrical engineering at the University of Wollongong, Australia. His research interests lie in power quality measurement, high-voltage instrument transformer calibration, uncertainty analysis, transmission network studies, and high-frequency harmonics.
Duane A. Robinson graduated from the University of Wollongong with a B.E. (Hons I) in Electrical Engineering in 1998 after completing a seven-year cadetship with the BHP Port Kembla Steelworks. In the same year, he joined the Integral Energy Power Quality Centre as a research student under scholarship to complete his Ph.D. degree (harmonic distortion within distribution systems and related mitigation techniques). In 2002, he took up a position as a researcher with the Integral Energy Centre working on power quality-related research projects for Integral Energy and other consulting activities, and later joined the University's academic staff as a Senior Lecturer. He temporarily departed the university to pursue more industrial experience, working for a multidisciplinary consulting firm primarily on LV and MV electrical distribution design, control, and protection projects for heavy industry clients. In 2011, he returned to the university to take up a new research interest in the area of energy efficiency and demand-side integration with the Sustainable Buildings Research Centre, and to rejoin his colleagues at the Australian Power Quality Research Centre. He was appointed Deputy Director of the Sustainable Buildings Research Centre in 2015, and, more recently, as the Director of the Australian Power Quality Research Centre in 2020.
Sean Elphick (M’09) received the B.E. degree in electrical engineering and the M.Eng. (Res.) degree from the University of Wollongong, Wollongong, NSW, Australia, in 2002 and 2012, respectively.,In 2003, he joined the Australian Power Quality and Reliability Centre, the University of Wollongong. His current role involves providing support for projects that the centre is engaged in. This work includes consulting and research. He is heavily involved in the production of the National Long-Term Power Quality Survey (LTNPQS), a power quality survey involving most electricity distributors in Australia. His research interests include power quality monitoring methodology and instrumentation, and power quality standards.
Sarath Perera graduated from the University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka with a BSc (Eng) specializing in Power. He obtained his MEngSc from the University of New South Wales and his PhD from the University of Wollongong, Australia, in 1988. He was a Professor and the Technical Director of the Australian Power Quality and Reliability Centre (APQRC), University of Wollongong. He is currently an Honorary Professor with the Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences and a Member of the APQRC. His research interests include power quality phenomena, emission allocation, and assessment and standardization.
