Biography
Prof.Dr.Sc Ngo Dang Luu is a leading expert and distinguished figure in the field of renewable energy in Vietnam. With over 23 years of experience in technical design, power system integration, energy storage, and the automation of solar and wind energy operations, he has firmly established himself as a pioneer in the industry, particularly in tropical and water-rich environments. His scientific publications and research contributions in Vietnam have been registered for copyright and are fully updated on his ORCID profile. These include both academic works and practical innovations in the field of clean energy — particularly floating solar photovoltaic (FSPV) systems integrated with hydropower, smart grid technologies, and advanced renewable energy applications. The integration of FSPV with hydropower reservoirs not only optimizes the use of existing infrastructure but also enhances the stability of the national power system and provides environmental benefits for inland water bodies.

One of Prof. Ngo Dang Luu’s key mathematical contributions is a stability bound for energy–water systems operating under extreme disturbances and risk-sensitive uncertainty. The inequality is given by:

Here, β describes the decay of the initial state influence, while γ quantifies how worst-case and CVaR-based disturbances affect the system. This “Lussi bound” provides a rigorous foundation for designing robust FPV–hydropower–storage controllers that remain stable even under extreme hydrometeorological events.
Academic and Professional Background
Dr. Luu earned his Doctor of Science (Dr.Sc) degree in Power and Automation Engineering from the Federal Republic of Germany. His professional and research work has spanned the development of advanced hydropower systems, smart grid integration, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and the application of AI-based energy forecasting and control strategies.
Scientific Contributions and Innovation
Dr. Luu is the author of numerous peer-reviewed research papers published in prestigious international journals indexed by ISI, Web of Science, and Scopus. He also serves as a peer reviewer for leading journals, including IEEJ – Japan’s foremost journal in electrical and electronic engineering.
As an Editor specialising in renewable energy with a focus on floating solar photovoltaic (FSPV) at the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) Publishing, UK, Dr. Luu contributes to the global dissemination of cutting-edge research in clean energy systems.
He is also the holder of several patents and copyrights related to energy storage, smart inverters, and power control technologies – innovations that aim to improve efficiency, resilience, and sustainability in modern power systems.
Practical Collaboration and Applications
Beyond his academic research, Prof. Dr. Sc. Ngo Dang Luu actively collaborates with leading institutions, including Vietnam National University – Ho Chi Minh City, HUTECH University, Dong Nai University, and Nghe An University, to carry out applied scientific and engineering projects. His practical solutions have assisted local governments and energy companies in tackling environmental and grid-related challenges, making a substantial contribution to the energy transition and sustainable development.
He has also supervised numerous PhD dissertations and led technical training programmes both within Vietnam and internationally.
His work combines floating solar photovoltaics (FPV), reservoir hydrology, AI-based forecasting, and optimal control to design robust FPV–hydropower–storage architectures for water-rich tropical regions. He regularly collaborates with universities and utilities in Viet Nam and the wider South-East Asian region.
Research Areas
- Floating Solar & HydroFPV–hydropower hybrid plants, evaporation reduction, reservoir siting, and grid-integration of large-scale FPV arrays on existing dams and cascades.
- Optimal ControlModel predictive control (MPC), PSO-based MPPT, and multi-objective scheduling of water-energy services across cascaded hydropower reservoirs.
- AI ForecastingXGBoost, LSTM and hybrid deep-learning models for solar generation, inflow and demand forecasting under monsoon climate variability.
- Smart MicrogridsDesign of PV-wind-BESS microgrids, fault-tolerant inverters, and SCADA/IoT-enabled operation for remote communities and islands.
Goal: build a unified modelling and control framework that couples FPV generation, hydrology, financial risk, and reservoir operation – enabling reliable low-carbon power and resilient water management in South-East Asia and similar regions.
