Abstract Insulator defect detection plays a vital role in maintaining the secure operation of power systems. To address the issues of the difficulty of detecting small objects and missing objects due to the small scale, variable scale, and fuzzy edge morphology of insulator defects, we construct an insulator dataset with 1600 samples containing flashovers and breakages. Then a simple and effective surface defect detection method of power line insulators for difficult small objects is proposed. Firstly, a high-resolution feature map is introduced and a small object prediction layer is added so that the model can detect… More >

Abstract In general, simple subsystems like series or parallel are integrated to produce a complex hybrid system. The reliability of a system is determined by the reliability of its constituent components. It is often extremely difficult or impossible to get specific information about the component that caused the system to fail. Unknown failure causes are instances in which the actual cause of system failure is unknown. On the other side, thanks to current advanced technology based on computers, automation, and simulation, products have become incredibly dependable and trustworthy, and as a result, obtaining failure data for… More >

Abstract This paper focuses on the forward error correction (FEC), the basic parameters determination of the RS convolution code, Turbo code and the LDPC code, and the corresponding encoding and decoding algorithm in power line communication (PLC) standard. Simulation experiment which is designed for narrow-band power line communication system based on OFDM is done. The coding using RS convolution code, Turbo code and LDPC code are compared, and further it is determined that which encoding method is more suitable for power line communication in China. More >

Abstract The rapid development of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies has boosted smart energy networks in recent years. However, power line surveillance systems still suffer from the low accuracy and efficiency of the power line area recognition and risk objects detection. This paper proposes a new customized loss function to tackle the disequilibrium of the size of objects on multi-scale feature maps in the deep learning-based detectors. To validate the new concept and improve the efficiency, we also presented a new object detection model. Experimental results are provided to exhibit the advantage of our proposed method More >
