We present a simulation method to efficiently solve highly oscillatory optimal control problems. Instead of exactly simulating all periods of an oscillating trajectory, we only simulate a few of them to gather information about the slow change that occurs over the time horizon. We numerically approximate the slow change using a semi-explicit differential-algebraic equation, that can then be integrated with large integration steps. For the use in optimal control problems, we provide a way to parametrize the controls. Finally, we utilize the method to optimize the trajectory of an airborne wind energy system.
