Dr. Sanjeet Kumar Dwivedi is Fellow IET (UK), Senior Member, IEEE. He is working as Scrum Master & senior
R&D engineer in control engineering, application, and motor control in Danfoss Power Electronics, Graasten,
Denmark since 2008, where he is contributing for research of new control techniques in power electronics
and motor drives. Prior to this, Dr. Sanjeet was an electrical engineer in Larsen and Toubro India (1991-92).

Dr Sanjeet has awarded with two master degrees, first one from Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, India
Master of Engineering in Power Apparatus and Drives and second one from South Denmark University Alsion
Campus Sønderborg, M.Sc. Engineering in Innovation and Business, DK. He has completed his Ph.D. degree
in Motor Control from Indian Institute of Technology Delhi India. Dr. Sanjeet also completed his executive
leadership education from MIT Boston.

He worked as research associate in power electronics, electrical machine and drives (PEEMD) research group
of Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (2002-2006) toward his doctoral research. He worked as head of the
EE department and dean academic at Indira Gandhi Engineering College, Sagar, MP, India (2007-2008).

He is an adjunct professor of Curtin University, Perth, Australia (2016-18). Dr. Sanjeet has authored more
than 40 technical papers and holds 3 international patents and two books on power electronics and drives
(Academic Press Elsevier UK and IET Press UK). He is a member of the editorial board of International Journal
of Power Electronics (IJPE), associate editor of the Transaction of Industrial Electronics of the IEEE, technical
editor of ASME/IEEE Transaction of Mechatronics, and European leader cum associate editor of IEEE online
publication Industrial Electronics Technology Transfer News (IETTN). He has given invited presentations,
organized and chaired special sessions in several IEEE and European Power Electronics conferences.
Previously he worked as associate editor of IET (United Kingdom) Power Electronics Journal, associate editor
of Korean Journal of Power Electronics (JPE).

Dr. Sanjeet was awarded Gold Medal for his Master of Engineering degree at Indian Institute of Technology
Roorkee (1999). He is a recipient of Merit Award from Institution of India IE(I) (2006) for his research
publication on permanent magnet machines. He was also awarded with 9th Man on the Moon Global
Innovation Award of Danfoss (2015) and IETE-Bimal Bose Award (2017) for outstanding contribution in power
electronics and drive.

Latest Development in Electrical Drives
Electric drives play a central role in major industrial processes and equipment. These continue to
become ubiquitous every day, as more and more applications become highly automated, controlled
precisely and efficient. There are many processes that benefit form continuously controllable drives.
Material processing, handling, transportation, mining, rolling mills, machining centers and guidance
systems are a few of the examples in which continuously variable speed is virtually indispensable
now-a-days. These processes also strive for higher control accuracy in order to deliver products the
specifications of which are much tighter than before. The new type of motor technology also plays a
key role in increase application of electrical drives because these new types of motor invariably need
starting and controlling mechanism other than fixed supply frequency for synchronization and
control. This may lead, potentially, to a huge expansion of application of electric drive systems.
In this tech-lecture audience will be introduce to different motor technologies and control techniques
of electrical drives. Their performance comparison as well as identified application will also be
discussed.
