Richardson Electronics, Ltd., a global provider of engineered solutions for renewable energy, is pleased to announce the issuance of U.S. Patent No. 18/184,961 (the ’961 Patent). The ’961 Patent is the third patent covering the Company’s Pitch Energy module with additional U.S. and foreign patents still pending.
Richardson’s most recent patent reflects the ingenuity in its market-leading solution, the ULTRA3000® Pitch Energy Module (PEM). The ULTRA3000® is a drop-in replacement for lead acid batteries within electric pitch systems. With its true plug-and-play technology, owners can replace one battery at a time on an as needed basis or retrofit the entire pitch system. With over 35,000 PEMs installed, Richardson Electronics’ ULTRA3000® has become the owner operators’ number one choice for ultracapacitor based pitch systems. With the increased reliability of ultracapacitors over lead acid batteries owners can reduce nuisance battery faults and increase wind turbine availability.
Greg Peloquin, Executive Vice President, and General Manager of Power Microwave and Green Energy Solutions Group, stated, “Richardson continues to innovate in the renewable energy market, devoting substantial engineering expertise and intellectual property in expanding its patent portfolio. RELL will continue to add technology partners, engineered solutions, and key customers to this fast-growing market.”
