Sarath Perera Academic Staff, University of Wollongong, Australia. Sarath Perera graduated from the University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka with a BSc (Eng) specialising in Power. He obtained his MEngSc from the University of New South Wales and PhD from the University of Wollongong. He has been on the academic staff at the University of Wollongong since 1988. His current research interests are in the general area of power quality and in particular harmonics, voltage fluctuations and flicker and voltage unbalance. He also has strong interests in modelling and simulation. He is the Chair of the Technical Committee on Power Quality (EL-034) of the Standards Australia Committee. He has been, and is, an active contributor to several CIGRE working groups. He is currently the Technical Director of the Australian Power Quality and Reliability Centre. Sean Elphick Consultant and Researcher to Integral Energy Power Quality Centre (now Australian Power Quality and Reliability Centre), University of Wollongong, Australia. Sean Elphick graduated from the University of Wollongong with a B.E. (elec) degree in 2002. He obtained an M.Eng (Res) in 2012. In 2003 he joined the Integral Energy Power Quality Centre (now Australian Power Quality and Reliability Centre) at the University of Wollongong. His current role involves providing support for projects that the centre is engaged on. 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 interests lie in power quality monitoring methodology and instrumentation and power quality standards. He is also a past member of CIGRE working group C4.112 (power quality monitoring) and a current member of CIGRE working group C4.27 (benchmarking of power quality performance in transmission systems) and Standards Australia subcommittee EL42-3 (AS4777).
