Abstract
Airborne wind energy is an emerging field in the renewable energy technologies that aims to replace the use of fossil fuels for energy production on an economical basis. A characteristic feature of the various concepts that are currently pursued is the use of tethered flying devices to access wind energy at higher altitudes where the wind is more consistent. This booklet contains 70 abstracts that were presented at the Airborne Wind Energy Conference 2015 (AWEC 2015), which was held from 15-16 June 2915 at Delft University of Technology. Further included are 37 additional full page photos and illustrations, mainly of prototypes characterising the state of airborne wind energy technology in 2015.
