Ype Wijnia is the author of ‘Processing Risk In Asset Management: Exploring The Boundaries Of Risk Based Optimization Under Uncertainty For An Energy Infrastructure Asset Manager’. This sonnet by Bauke Steenhuisen tries to grasp the essence of his dissertation.

Once upon a time, not long ago

a power market was utopia.

Perhaps we suffered from myopia

but anyhow, despite we didn’t know


how this would work within a DNO

a Distribution Network Operator,

markets proved to be a renovator

of the money eating status quo.


This thesis shows that Asset Management

through cost and benefit consideration

saves a bill of two times ten percent


an end result that calls for admiration.

Though it may not rock the fundament

of science, who cares, it brings optimization.

Bauke Steenhuisen (universiteit docent bij de faculteit TBM) en Jeroen Manders (zanger, acteur, tekstschrijver, componist en voormalig IO student) verdichtten tussen december 2014 en maart 2017 42 keer een Delftse afstudeerscriptie of proefschrift tot een sonnet. Illustraties waren van Ella Nitters.
