Professional-grade tools used by engineers worldwide. Standards-compliant, PDF export, no signup required.
Start with our free engineering calculators. When you're ready for integrated operational systems — automated workflows, AI-powered decision support, predictive maintenance — that's what we build.
Industrial-grade AI systems built on nearly four decades of power systems engineering. Every solution I build is grounded in real-world constraints, designed to last, delivered and maintained by the engineer who built the platform.
About EthosPowerReference Projects
Before AI, we built power systems for the world's most demanding environments. This experience shapes everything we create.
I specified 192 lithium (LiFePO4) 48VDC systems with BMS for APLNG, including thermal modelling for high-temperature cabinet environments — the first large-scale LiFePO4 DC power deployment in Australian LNG.
I designed 300 standby DC power systems for the Gladstone liquefaction trains — harsh-environment specification at volume, with repeatable rack design and schedule-driven factory acceptance testing.
I led DC/AC UPS engineering for Zone 1 hazardous-area switch-rooms on the Kipper Tuna Turrum gas-conditioning plant — explosion-proof design review, Ex-rated equipment selection, FAT witnessing.
I witnessed 10 weeks of factory acceptance testing across multiple UPS configurations — 110VDC, 48VDC, and 230VAC — for this pioneering CSG-to-LNG conversion. Design and FAT sign-off.
I produced standby power proposals and technical documentation for a US$12B refinery upgrade programme — lead estimator on NiCd battery and charger scope across the three-refinery Clean Fuels programme.
I developed standby power system proposals for two major Middle East offshore oil and gas projects — Upper Zakum and SARB field developments — covering DC power, batteries and chargers.
I was ABB's sole DC/AC UPS Systems Specialist — responsible for every standby power design across ABB's worldwide project wins. Battery qualification across VRLA, LiFePO4 and NiCd; BMS and thermal verification.
I won and retained period contracts supplying standby power infrastructure to four Australian transmission and distribution utilities — LiFePO4 systems, 110VDC load-bank testing kit, field-service training.
I project-managed four 110VDC at 600A thyristor-controlled chargers paired with 1400Ah LiFePO4 batteries and diode coupling boxes for QGC — full delivery from design through commissioning.
I delivered UNEP-funded consulting and training for two Pacific Island environment ministries on Stockholm Convention NIPs — POPs management, renewable energy programme reporting, on-island training.
I engineered ICAO safety-critical standby DC power for landing radar across Australian airports, and trained 30 field-service engineers on LiFePO4 — no-fail infrastructure, documented down to the cell.
I established a new hybrid power business unit, built the IEEE 485 cloud sizing tool, and delivered prompt engineering training to the team. Strategy, coaching, tooling, O&M manuals — full zero-to-one stand-up.
I designed, built and deployed this site — Next.js 15 / Cloudflare Workers with a RAG knowledge assistant over 2,400+ documents, a 6-agent development pipeline, and 15+ MCP integrations.
I built an IEEE 485 battery sizing tool and EN 50272-2 hydrogen venting calculator on Cloudflare Workers / D1 / R2, with Stripe payments and multi-tenant deployment. Four decades of battery engineering as software.
I established and ran the Australian arm of a New Zealand renewable-energy business — trained three staff, set up overseas supplier agreements and a local distributor network, and built the in-house intranet myself.
I project-managed the launch of a new battery-backed DC power supply range into the Australian security market — market research, distribution agreement with the leader's top distributor, direct marketing campaign, penetration strategy.
I co-authored peer-reviewed book chapters and journal articles on codes of ethics, ethics training, and whistleblowing — published via Tilde University Press, EJBO and Chartered Secretaries Australia.
25+ years of critical power infrastructure and renewable energy projects across 12 countries. These are real outcomes from real engagements.
Lead engineer on standby power systems for Origin Energy's $14B LNG facility — zero unplanned outages across critical DC and AC UPS infrastructure.
Consultant on UNEP-funded Stockholm Convention National Implementation Plan updates across Cook Islands and Kiribati, covering POPs management and renewable energy programme reporting.
