AWE Systems in an Innovation Course

ENSE3 is an engineering school of Grenoble Institute of Technology, France. Its objective is to prepare the engi-neering students to face the challenges of energy transi-tion, the growing problems of water resources, planning and sustainable development.
The Innovation and Management course given at the final year allows graduate students from different specializa-tions to work in project mode on the generation of an in-novative concept and its development, both on the tech-nical level and on aspects making the link with a poten-tial market. Each year, a challenge is offered from which students have to propose a creative application of a tech-nology, identify and characterize the innovation, propose a segmentation of the market. On the basis of a chosen segment, students have to establish a value proposition that will be evaluated in a final competition during which they pitch their project. In 2015, the challenge was about airborne wind energy systems. The main question to an-swer was “ How to harvest high altitude wind energy and how to get advantage of it?ž
Forty groups of more than 300 graduate students have tried to find innovative solutions and applications related to AWE systems. They have produced concepts, using brainstorming, in relation with the challenge. After that they compared their concepts with existing technologies. They have analyzed the scientific, technical and techno-logical environments to deduce threats and opportuni-ties. Then, they have tried to build a business model by
studying the available market for their proposed concept by defining the eventual profile of their future clients. Several innovative concepts have emerged. They cover small scale AWE system integration in urban districts for energy satisfaction or even publicity, to the usage of AWE in disaster areas, the hybridization of AWE with photo-voltaic, and finally offshore deployment AWE systems.
