Fourth Udemy course and second book

 It has been a very long time since I blogged. Quite sadly, my project of writing automatic tests for the circuit simulator has not progressed for several months.

I am in the process of creating my fourth online course for Udemy. This course will cover the basics of control and operation of grid converters. It will start with basic grid topologies, computations performed on grids - peak voltage computation, RMS value computation, frequency estimation. A basic overview of the PWM strategy backed by Fourier series harmonic content of the inverter output voltages will be covered. In terms of control, there will be a coverage of the principle of designing a converter, frequency response plots and how to use these to design controllers. A basic current controller will be designed using this basic technique. The current controller will be a simple PI controller in synchronous reference frame.

My second book will soon be in print. This book is titled Digital Filter Design for Power Engineering Applications using Python: An open source guide. The book is being published by Springer International. Hopefully, the online version will be available in December.

There are a few changes long pending with the circuit simulator. These might be done sometime early in 2021.
