This paper studies the application of data fusion technology in power system to solve some difficult problems in this complex energy system. A transmission tower identification and bird nest detection method based on corner, line, color and shape features is proposed. Through LSD (Line Segment Detection) and Harris corner detection method, the straight line segment and corner point in the image are extracted respectively. Combined with triangle method, the actual tilt angle of tower is measured; According to the nesting rule of birds in transmission towers, the basic unit segmentation algorithm of transmission towers is proposed, and the basic unit segmentation of transmission towers is realized by using the local maximum of the target pixel row statistical histogram. The algorithm proposed in this paper can effectively solve the problems of on-line measurement of tilt angle of transmission tower and on-line detection of bird's nest, which will lay a theoretical foundation for on-line monitoring of transmission tower status.

This paper presents a reliability assessment model for the power semiconductors used in wind turbine power converters. In this study, the thermal loadings at different timescales of wind speed are considered. First, in order to address the influence of long-term thermal cycling caused by variations in wind speed, the power converter operation state is partitioned into different phases in terms of average wind speed and wind turbulence. Therefore, the contributions can be considered separately. Then, in regards to the reliability assessment caused by short-term thermal cycling, the wind profile is converted to a wind speed distribution, and the contribution of different wind speeds to the final failure rate is accumulated. Finally, the reliability of an actual power converter semiconductor for a 2.5 MW wind turbine is assessed, and the failure rates induced by different timescale thermal behavior patterns are compared. The effects of various parameters such as cut-in, rated, cut-out wind speed on the failure rate of power devices are also analyzed based on the proposed model.
