| USTH institutional level | Torque ripple and mass comparison between 20-MW rare-earth and ferrite permanent magnet wind generators | The study compared the torque ripple and mass of direct-drive 20-MW wind generators. These types of generators use rare earth and ferrite permanent magnets. The results of the study aim to show the advantages and disadvantages of each type of generator, especially the torque ripple because this factor greatly affects the operation as well as the generator’s lifespan | 2022 |
| GUST | Optimization of the levelized cost of energy for different wind generators at various nominal power | The objective of the research is to reduce the cost of offshore wind power generation, which is an energy form that is increasingly being paid attention due to the huge benefits. Specifically:
– The study gives an overview of the cost of offshore wind power production. – Construct and compare the characteristics of turbine capacity – electricity production cost for two types of wind generator: permanent magnet and superconducting generators |
2019-2022 |
| VAST institutional level | Optimization of the rated wind speed to minimize the Levelized Cost of Offshore Wind Energy | The research studies the influence of the choice of rated wind speed on the cost of offshore wind in order to determine the optimal nominal wind speed. This wind speed depends on the rated power of the turbine as well as the wind characteristics of the windfarm. | 2020 |

| HUST institutional level | Design and development of a stability and obstacle avoidance system for small multi-rotors unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) |
In recent years, research on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), especially quadrotor, is increasingly promoted both in civilian and military applications. To efficient utilization of their advantages, recent research deeply focuses on the stabilization problem. However, this makes some issues when a quadrotor operates in an environment with more obstacles. In order to decrease the risks when operating (destabilization, the danger of collision), this paper presents the research and development of a stabilization and obstacle avoidance system for a quadrotor through PID controls and distance sensors.

| USTH institutional level | Database system development and data analysis for efficient energy management of microgrids with photovoltaic distributed generation integration | The smart microgrid with renewable energy integration is a hot research topic nowadays because of its importance in the exploitation of renewable energy resources in order to develop dynamic low-carbon power systems. Recently, in the world as well as in Vietnam, the exploitation of distributed renewable resources, especially solar power, is strongly expanding. This puts a big challenge on the grid utility for effective integration of the resources into the grid. Therefore, research about the smart microgrid is essential for grid utilities to give optimal solutions of reliable operation, efficient energy management, CO2 reduction, user comfort guarantee, etc. Building can be considered as a microgrid with multiple sources and loads. Since the building is responsible for 40% of global energy consumption. 49.3% of global electricity consumption and 36% of global CO2 pollution [1], the development of the smart building with PV integration draws much more attention in order to improve energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emission worldwide. Nevertheless, in Vietnam, the research about smart buildings with solar power integration is limited mostly due to the lack of a qualified database for system modeling, load analysis and forecasting, solar power production forecasting, energy audit, user comfort evaluation, etc. It is essential to develop a database system for smart buildings. A smart building with solar generation cannot be realized without a reliable database system. | 2022 |
| Power quality control in power distribution systems |
Electric power systems are complex and composed of various types of sources and non-homogeneous loads. A power system is considered non-stationary because of the random behaviors of all its parts. Indeed, load can be switched on and off according to user’s unpredictable needs and sources generate electricity in a fluctuating and discontinuous manner. Effective control of the reliability of a power system is always a challenging task. The reliability depends on the power quality of the supply such as frequency deviation, harmonic distortion, unbalance, voltage sag and swell, etc. The work of the research focuses on the development of models, indicators, and signal processing methods for power quality monitoring in time-varying power distribution systems. |

| HUST institutional level | Energy consumption model for vehicles using different energy sources | Energy is always a problem in human life, calculating of vehicle energy consumption are always concerned. The paper proposes a model to calculate energy consumption for vehicles using different energy sources when operating according to a certain driving cycle. The results of proposed method had been validated by the classical formulas of the grown vehicle theory. The small difference between the obtained results shows the feasibility of the proposed model. | 2020 |
