My annual Oranda no Sakura update (オランダの桜のアップデート): with the warmest February in the Netherlands (avg. 8.2 degree Celsius) since measurements started in 1901 we have the earliest cherry blossom on the Delft campus (9-11 March) since my measurements started in 2018!

@BM_Visser Dank je wel China voor het investeren en het goedkoop maken van hernieuwbare energie technologieën. Daar zouden we in Europa iets van kunnen en moeten leren.

[Arno Smets @ArnoSmets]

@BM_Visser Minstens 95% van de zonnemodules die de 1200 Wp/inwoner in Nederland leveren, zijn niet door ons zelf gemaakt! Daar moeten we China voor danken, omdat we in Nederland noch Europa een waardeketen van zonnemodule fabricatie hebben opgezet om aan de wensen van onze ET te voldoen.

[Arno Smets @ArnoSmets]

@BM_Visser In de metriek PV nominaal vermogen per inwoner is Nederland op dit moment inderdaad nummer 1 van wereld, hoera! Ter reflectie, de zonnemodules die nominaal vermogen van 400 Wp/inwoner in China leveren zijn via hun eigen regionale waardeketen van zonnepanelen fabricatie gemaakt.

Thursday it will be 10 years ago that we have launched the first two Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on Solar Energy and Water Management @tudelft . It has been an amazing journey/experience. Interested in its impact, please check the article below:

Sorry, I missed last weeks award ceremony, as I was at @IEEEPVSC meeting abroad, but I am proud and honored to be awarded as 'Educator of the Year' at the @EEMCS_TUD faculty. Happy to see that my efforts in education incl. exploring innovations are appreciated by the students!

@bmuramatsu @wfvanvalkenburg @tudelft Impressive statistics!!! Still 1194 years @tudelft to go to beat that graph 😀

[Arno Smets @ArnoSmets]

This happens when you have lived in Japan for several years, one starts to monitor the Sakura season. My observations of the last years suggest that the date of the cherry blossom @tudelft campus correlates with the averaged temperature in the month February...

June 1st the poster contest took place (30 groups) for the System Integration Project course (Sustainable Energy Technology MSc) part of the Energy Challenge! 4 groups were awarded prizes: best video, audience, 1st & 2nd poster. Great event! Rene & Laura thanks for organizing!

Last Thursday I have been installed as honorary member of the ‘Electrotechnische Vereeniging’. It is a great honor! Thanks to ETV for organizing a fantastic day!

[Arno Smets @ArnoSmets]

The extreme early Sakura blossom season at TUDelft continues for the fourth consecutive year! It becomes more the rule than the exception...
