The contest took place in two days, including 9 teams from 9 Power Transmission Units, including: Binh Dinh, Phu Yen, Khanh Hoa, Ninh Thuan, Binh Thuan, Gia Lai, Dak Lak, Dak Nong, Lam Dong.
Entities participating in the Contest
According to Mr. Nguyen Cong Thang - Director of PTC 3, this is an activity responding to the 2022 Theme of Vietnam Electricity and the National Power Transmission Corporation on "Safe, flexible and efficient adaptation". The contest is a favourable environment for employees to show their abilities, as well as promote the internal strength of the collective; create a healthy playground for members of the technology operation team and employees in the units to exchange with and learn from each other. In addition, the contest helps workers have a broader perspective on the application of science, technology and engineering in life and work.
Contestants participating in the contest are members of the technology operation team and excellent employees in the units elected, recruited or nominated by the Director of Power Transmission.

Power Transmission Company No. 3 was assigned by the National Power Transmission Corporation to manage and operate the transmission power grid spanning over 9 provinces in the South Central region and the Central Highlands with a scale of more than 5,300 km of 500kV and 220kV transmission lines; 21 substations (05 500kV substations, 16 220kV substations). The power grid managed by the company mainly crosses the high mountains, two different seasons of climate, complicated terrain, and winding mountain passes. In addition, with the rapid development of renewable energy systems in the South Central region and the Central Highlands, connecting to the transmission grid and transmitting high capacity to the grid, leading to the PTC 3 transmission grid has been regularly managed and operated at full load and even overloaded, so the operation management has encountered many difficulties.
The theory part of a team in the contest
The use of unmanned aerial vehicles helps operation management workers to observe the route corridor from above, check the corridor at the line sections with complicated terrain, difficulty in access; access to check conductors, lightning conductors, condition of electrical equipment, accessories, etc. These devices can operate on a variety of terrains and spaces, get close to live equipment, record videos and capture clear images with high accuracy and reliability. Particularly, the device can be accessed from afar, many areas being difficult for humans to directly access or take a lot of time to access in performing the operation management inspection.
Contest content includes:
1. Theory part (March 14 morning):
- Each team introduces the products and results that have been exploited from the aerial vehicle during its operation on the power grid at the units;
