Carlos Casanovas
Carlos Casanova is the CTO and co-founder of X1 Wind, a company developing a downwind turbine technology to reduce the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) in offshore wind plants, named the PivotBuoy system.
He conceived the concept that paved the way for PivotBuoy in 2012 during his MSc studies in Mechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Prior to X1 Wind, Casanova worked as an engineer in companies developing similar solutions in the field of wind turbines and floating offshore systems, including Bluewater and Adwen Offshore.
From 2012 to 2014, Casanova also was Research Assistant at MIT, investigating floating wind turbine advanced controls.
