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
