Events Optec Agenda Detail
Aim of the one day workshop is to bring together experts and enthusiasts
for a new class of large scale wind power generator based on tethered
airfoils that has the potential to significantly increase the
contribution of renewables to the global electricity supply. In
particular, modelling, simulation, control and optimization methods shall
be discussed, and first experiments with existing small scale
prototypes shall be discussed. Two keynote lectures are given by W. Ockels
(Delft Technical University) and M. Milanese (Politecnico di Torino).
The workshop is organized by Moritz Diehl, Boris Houska, and Andreas Ilzhoefer

Two OPTEC professors have been awarded three "Gouden Krijtjes", the yearly teaching awards given by the organization of engineering students (vtk). Prof. Lombaert was awarded the prize for the best course in civil engineering, and Prof. Diehl the prizes for the best professor and the best course in mathematical engineering (where he teaches numerical optimization). They received these awards at the yearly "proffentap" where experienced students taught them how to draft beer professionally.
