The company was founded by Piyush Desai, a passionate and experienced power electronics specialist with over 22 years of engineering and executive experience in R & D, project management, and product development of power electronics and motor drives. Piyush Desai received MS and Ph.D. from Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT), Chicago, both in electrical engineering with the highest distinction. He has two issued US patents, two pending patents applications, and several research publications. As an adjunct faculty at IIT, he has taught power electronics and motor drives classes to undergraduates and graduates.

We work with customers across all market segments and are proud to have supported clients from small start-ups to large businesses. Our key strengths are:

• Well versed with needs of start-ups, small businesses, and multi-billion dollar global organizations
• Proven track record of developing new products and technologies
• Entrepreneurial skills that bring customer focus, accountability, and superior value proposition
• Subject matter expertize, scalable resource capabilities, and adaptive

We offer a full range of engineering and consulting services: design and development, simulation and modeling, hardware implementation, software development, prototyping, and testing. Advanced multi- physics simulations are at the core of our expertise–from component to the system level and anything in between. We are extremely good at leveraging cutting-edge analysis tools and transforming your ideas and engineering problems in to new products and businesses; and that is what we are passionate about! We can help you build your test labs, train your engineers, and design the customized workshops.

Our core strength is in leveraging sophisticated tools to iterate and optimize multiple designs and virtually prototype them for performance evaluation. This allows exploring numerous designs quickly and inexpensively without actually building the prototypes; thus not only saving the client time and money, but also converging to the best possible solution.

We accomplish our vision and mission through Collaboration, Innovation, Quality, and Integrity. We strive to deliver high quality services, on time and in budget, every time through effective project management. We will take a project only if we are confident about our contributions to your success. We don’t make you pay for the work that does not meet your expectations. We provide updates as frequently as you require us to. We promise transparency so you know the project status at all times. We believe in keeping things simple. We are unique in our approach to combine years of experience and smart techniques to execute your project faster, better, cheaper, and as independently as you want.

To be your partner in creating efficient, innovative, clean, and green technologies. We believe in innovation with impact!

Dr. Piyush Desai was a perfect fit for my small electronic manufacturing company. As we were transitioning into new leadership roles, his knowledgeable, responsive and thorough consultations were an excellent value to us. He outperformed every expectation we had and provided expert advice and insight to our problems. He was a pleasure to work with and was always accommodating. He not only helped us solve the issues we had with a solid state control but also provided us tools to look at our business more strategically. His knowledge and attention to detail and follow-up communication is exemplary. I was very grateful for the hard work and exemplary service provided by Mr. Desai.

I have worked with PD Consulting on a motor development project. We had to hit key design specifications on a relatively tight schedule even though test data continued the fine tuning of several key specifications. They successfully completed the project in a timely manner with a high quality of deliverables. I found them to be transparent, reliable, and innovative in their approaches to deal with the challenges. Overall, I have been very pleased in my interactions with PD Consulting and would highly recommend them.

We engaged PD Consulting to design smart, cost effective, and highly efficient electric motors for HVAC marketplace. The project involved virtual prototyping through complex FEA analysis to predict torque –speed curves, losses, and efficiency map. They were also responsible for creating the schedule and the overall specifications.

Throughout the project with us, they demonstrated a superior ability to solve problems and leveraged extensive knowledge of both theoretical and practical Motor Design. Dr. Desai’s professionalism in communication, detailed weekly reporting, and performance according to published schedules were outstanding.

His level of documentation and clear, concise and accurate reporting was superior to any we have seen. Dr. Desai’s high ethics and attention to the details enabled him to report both the good news and the bad news, in a clear manner to enable us to take appropriate business actions in a timely and cost effective manner. We would highly recommend PD Consulting to any potential new client and would be happy to act as a reference.

As Director of a Solar Inverter manufacturer, I worked with Piyush to develop a state of the art liquid cooled 1+ MW solar inverter. He was tasked to come up with a smaller, more efficient, outdoor inverter that reduced the losses up to 30% by allowing the switching devices to operate at 80 Degrees C rather than an air cooled unit at 100 degrees C. This also resulted in longer life and MTBF. He lived up to the challenge with a design and development time of 6 months, thus providing us with an opportunity to have a product to market through certification in 1 Year which is unheard of in this industry.

I’ve worked with PD Consulting on several challenging electro-magnetic (EM) applications and they have always provided a top notch service. They are extremely knowledgeable, thorough and always enthusiastic about the project. PD consulting did a great job of keeping us updated with weekly reports detailing all the activities and analysis performed each week and also provided live support during internal and external design reviews. Working with PD consulting always gives me an extra level of confidence and I look forward to working with them again in the future.

Whilst leading a project team to design and develop a space based application, PD Consulting was engaged to conduct several different types of analyses and design tasks supporting the mission. These projects were conducted timely and professionally, with unassailable conclusions to ours and the customer's elation.

Based on these demonstrated skills and demeanor, I have every confidence in PDC’s abilities to be able to consistently deliver the highest quality results, ahead of schedule and at good value for any task that they have been engaged to perform.

My company has engaged PD Consulting for multiple projects over the last couple of years. The projects each presented unique challenges in very different ways. PD Consulting not only performed to our expectations, but continually exceeded expectations. PD Consulting was able to contribute with direct interactions for my customers, resolve very tight schedule constraints and supply sound solutions for every problem posed. We would not hesitate to continue our relationship and use PD Consulting for any future projects.

PD Consulting has jump-started our NPD research program by consolidated years of motor and generator information into a concise package, providing reference material that is relevant to my every-day work.
They have provided superior deliverables which vastly outperforms the work provided by a standard “University Professor Consultant” approach. They have delivered exactly what we were looking for, even when we didn’t know what we needed. We look forward to continuing our relationship with PD Consulting, in both the feasibility studies and NPD work.
