Title: Ricardo Castillo and Wind Turbine Wake Control.
Introduction
Ricardo Castillo is an inventor associated with Lubbock, Texas, and the Texas Tech University System. His patent work addresses wind energy harvesting by controlling the wake produced by a turbine.
Latest Patents
The supplied information lists one patent for Castillo: “Methods and Systems for Thrust-Based Turbine Wake Control.” The invention describes a wind turbine system that uses a processor and computer code to set a desired range for the wind wake. It measures the cross-stream thrust component of the wind, compares that measurement with an optimal value, and adjusts rotor speed in response to the resulting error signal. The system is designed to keep the wake within the desired range and improve wind-harvest efficiency.
Career Highlights
Castillo’s listed patent reflects an engineering approach to managing turbine wakes through real-time measurement and rotor-speed control. The supplied information associates his work with the Texas Tech University System.
Collaborations
Suhas Pol is identified as Castillo’s coworker. The available details do not specify their particular projects or the nature of their collaboration.
Conclusion
Ricardo Castillo’s listed invention applies feedback-based control to wind turbine wakes, with the goal of improving wind-harvest efficiency.
