Summary
Energy is an essential material basis for human survival and development, but faults and damages are inevitable during either fabrication or lifetime of energy equipment for energy production. In addition, the energy equipment usually presents complex dynamical behaviors. They influence the normal operation of energy equipment. Therefore, it is essential to study the dynamics and develop advanced techniques for ensuring the safe and reliable operation of energy equipment. Lots of academics have been committed to investigating and developing the dynamics, fault diagnosis, reliability, and quality control in the life cycle management of energy equipment. For this purpose, this special issue would collect the latest achievements in this field. Potential topics include but are not limited to:

Abstract To solve the problems of low precision of weak feature extraction, heavy reliance on labor and low efficiency of weak feature extraction in X-ray weld detection image of ultra-high voltage (UHV) equipment key parts, an automatic feature extraction algorithm is proposed. Firstly, the original weld image is denoised while retaining the characteristic information of weak defects by the proposed monostable stochastic resonance method. Then, binarization is achieved by combining Laplacian edge detection and Otsu threshold segmentation. Finally, the automatic identification of weld defect area is realized based on the sequential traversal of binary tree. Several characteristic analysis dimensions are established…
