Courses
These are written the way I wish the subject had been explained to me: the intuition first, then the maths once you can see what it is for, then a worked design carried through to real numbers and a real part you could order. Every one comes out of a problem I have actually had to solve at work, and most have a browser simulator alongside so you can change the numbers and watch what happens.

Power Converter Efficiency
Learn how power is lost in a converter, how each loss is calculated, and how the losses combine into the efficiency curve. The course uses one synchronous buck converter as a worked example.

Grid-Connected Bidirectional Single-Phase Inverter
Explanation and comparison of control methods for a grid-connected bidirectional single-phase inverter - current control, power control, Python examples.

The Boost Converter
How a step-up converter works, and how you control it - a plain-language follow-up to the buck guide. Built from the same parts as a buck, with the input and output swapped.
Free
The Buck Converter
How a step-down converter works, and how you control it - a plain-language guide with a companion web simulator. From chopping and averaging, to sizing the inductor and capacitor, to PWM and cascade control.
Free Grid-Forming Control
A grid-following inverter controls current into a voltage that already exists. A grid-forming inverter must establish that voltage. Starting from the current controller and PWM developed in the bidirectional single-phase inverter course, this course adds the voltage and outer control layers that make droop and VSG operation possible.
Free
Filtering in Power Electronics
See how a power-electronics filter turns switching waveforms into useful output, design the buck converter's LC filter, and separate differential-mode filtering from common-mode filtering.
Free
Magnetics for Power Electronics
Start with the buck converter's inductor requirement and work through the magnetic circuit, core material, air gap, winding and losses until it becomes a part you could build.
Free
PWM Strategies for Full-Bridge Inverter
Explanation and comparison of three PWM strategies for a full-bridge inverter - bipolar, standard unipolar, and fast-slow leg - with analytical equations and Python examples.
Free The Single-Phase Rectifier
How you turn the AC grid into the DC a battery wants - starting with four diodes and a capacitor, seeing why that draws a spiky current the grid hates, and then building the boost power-factor corrector that draws a clean sine instead.

Automate simulations with AI
Have AI run tests and sweeps, turn results into clear plots and reports, and design, debug and tune controllers.
