Profile
My current research mainstream is Applied Mathematics for Energy Systems whose philosophy is to develop innovative and interdisciplinary approaches to resolve challenges on the current and future energy systems, especially electric power grids, from mathematical viewpoints. This research theme employs various techniques from multi-agent system, optimization, artificial intelligence, control theory, dynamical systems, etc., for the modeling, optimization, and control of energy systems towards the following visions: 1. Low-carbon, sustainable, resilient, comfortable, and autonomous energy systems. 2. Highly connected societies in which human, machine, and nature are in harmony.

     More details

    The purposes of this research are to stabilize the balance between demand and supply of electricity in the energy grid, to improve the system ability to cope with sudden changes in electricity demand and supply, and to optimize performance and efficiency of storage systems, e.g., batteries, expected to be used in home and regions.

    As a methodology to realize them, Prof. Nguyen proposes distributed implementation of the solutions, such as battery State of Charge (SoC) monitoring, charge/discharge control, and machine-learning based demand and supply prediction, onto Multi-Agent System (MAS). In this system, a wide range of power management functions required from in-vehicle battery to home, region, and even inter-region are executed by one or multiple agents at different scales. Its way of system design and operation is consistent, which is well advanced and unique in this domain. Prof. Nguyen's research shows practical paths to solve the problems of upcoming energy network system such as renewable energy integration and emergency power management.

    We study finite-time performance of a recently proposed distributed dual subgradient (DDSG) method for convex-constrained multi-agent optimization problems. The algorithm enjoys performance guarantees on the last primal iterate, as opposed to those derived for ergodic means for standard DDSG algorithms. Our work improves the recently published convergence rate of O(logT/sqrt(T)) with decaying step-sizes to O(1/sqrt(T)) with constant step-size on a metric that combines sub-optimality and constraint violation. We then numerically evaluate the algorithm on three grid optimization problems. Namely, these are tie-line scheduling in multi-area power systems, coordination of distributed energy resources in radial distribution networks, and joint dispatch of transmission and distribution assets. The DDSG algorithm applies to each problem with various relaxations and linearizations of the power flow equations. The numerical experiments illustrate various properties of the DDSG algorithm–comparison with standard DDSG, impact of the number of agents, and why Nesterov-style acceleration can fail in DDSG settings.

    This article aims at introducing a brief overview on the recently proposed concept of bidirectional optical wireless power transfer. Potential advantages of this concept are highlighted, while its challenges are also described. It is then observed that those challenges are due to the characteristics of perovskite solar cells and the lack of theoretical results on the modeling of optical links. To cope with such challenges, outlooks on future research directions are provided.

    EVs are being strongly developed worldwide to gradually substitute for gasoline vehicles as an approach to combat the severe climate changes caused by greenhouse gas emissions. Technologies for EVs unfortunately have not been mature as that for gasoline alternates, hence requiring much more effort to increase their energy efficiency, economy, and charging convenience for users. This project exploits the repetition on the daily driving of a large class of EV users to develop novel iterative learning control methods for the better electricity and thermal control and management of EVs.

    The ultimate goal of this research project is to obtain theoretical designs for low carbon, energy-efficient, and autonomous smart microgrids which can operate on their owns, i.e. independent from the main grid, by which to improve the existing problems on the cleanliness, efficiency, flexibility, resiliency, and autonomy of electric power grids. More specifically, optimal energy management and market-clearing strategies are derived for P2P microgrids in a fully distributed manner, where physical constraints are taken into account.
