  Speaker:	Guido Luetsch  (sic, Lütsch; both spellings are found)
  Title:	Managing Director
  Primary Industry:	Wind Power
  Executive Summary:	The objective of the project is an innovative technology for the production of renewable energy by harnessing strong winds at a high altitude of 1.500 feet for less than 2 Cent/kWh. The concept assembles well known technologies: - Automatically steered kites and - Monorail-Systems into a base load power plant. NTS power plants have the capability to produce renewable energy for lesser costs than fossil fuels. As the wind blows about 80-90% of the time at 1.500 feet, the utilization rate of the high altitude power plant is at least three times higher than that of conventional windmills (20-30%). NTS shows for the first time a solution how to bring the kinetic energy of the strong winds at 1.500 feet to the ground.

• NTS power plants are baseload plants. Availability 80-90% of the time. Production cost below 2 Cent/kwh. Suitable to nearly any territory- The plant can generally be constructed independent from geographic aspects. Predictability of energy generation. No transport losses.

• BHWE Bundesverband Höhenwindenergie i.G..    By taking over the presidentship of BHWE I stepped back as Managing Director of NTS by February 1^st. As president of BHWE and chairman of the organization committee of AWEC 2013 I have to work independently in addition: The organization of AWEC 2013 is very time consuming and that would not match with my responsibilities as Managing Director of NTS. ~ Guido Lütsch    German Airborne Wind Energy Association      (Feb 2013)
