Inverters and AC Drives

Narayanaswamy P.R. Iyer, CPEngg., Ph.D., is the Founder of Myna Electrical and Electronics Consultancy in Australia and has more than two decades of experience in the modeling of electrical and electronic circuits, power electronic converters, and electric drives using various software packages including MATLAB/Simulink, PSIM, PSCAD, PSPICE and MICROCAP. He received his Master of Engineering by research and Ph.D. in Power Electronics and Drives from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), NSW, and Curtin University of Technology (CURTIN), Perth, WA, Australia, respectively. He received his B.Sc.(Engg.)(Electrical) and M.Sc.(Engg.)(Power Systems) degrees from the University of Kerala and the University of Madras, respectively. Dr. Iyer has worked as a part-time faculty member with the Department of Electrical Engineering at UNSW, Sydney, and UTS, as well as a full-time faculty member in the Department of Electrical Engineering at several engineering colleges and universities in India. He was a research fellow with the Faculty of Engineering, Power Electronics, Machines, and Control group at the University of Nottingham, UK, from July 2012 to March 2014. He has published several papers in this area with leading conferences and journals. He has to his credit several discoveries such as "Three Phase Clipped Sinusoid PWM Inverter," "Single Programmable and Dual Programmable Rectifier Using Three Phase Matrix Converter Topology," "A Novel AC to AC Converter Using a DC Link," and a submitted patent on "A Single Phase AC to PWM Single Phase AC and DC Converter" with alternative title "Swamy Converter." He is the author of the books Power Electronic Converters Interactive Modelling Using Simulink (CRC Press, 2018) and AC to AC Converters Modelling, Simulation and Real-Time Implementation Using Simulink (CRC Press, 2019). He is a Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEngg.) of Australia.
