With the increasing penetration of renewable energy resources, their variable, intermittent and unpredictable characteristics bring new challenges to the power system. These challenges require micro-meteorological data and techniques to provide more support for the power systems, including planning, dispatching, operation, and so on. This paper aims to provide readers with insights into the effects of micro-meteorology on power systems, as well as the actual improvement brought by micro-meteorology in some power system scenarios. This paper provides a review including the relevant micro-meteorological techniques such as observation, assimilation and numerical techniques, as well as artificial intelligence, presenting a relatively complete overview of the most recent and relevant micro-meteorology-related literature associated with power systems. The impact of micro-meteorology on power systems is analyzed in six different forms of power generation and three typical scenarios of different stages in the power system, as well as integrated energy systems and disaster prevention and reduction. Finally, a case study in China is provided. This case takes wind power prediction as an example in a power system to compare the performance when applying micro-meteorological data or not. The experimental results demonstrated that using the micro-meteorological reanalysis dataset with high spatial--temporal resolution for wind power prediction performed better, verifying the improvement of micro-meteorology to the power system to some extent.

Due to the complexity of the maritime environment and the diversity of the volume and shape of monitored objects in the maritime, existing object detection algorithms based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) are challenging to balance the requirements of high accuracy and high real-time simultaneously in the field of maritime object detection. In response to the characteristics of complex backgrounds, significant differences in object size between categories, and the characteristic of having a large number of small objects in maritime surveillance videos and images, the Maritime dataset with rich scenes and object categories was self-made, and the OS-YOLOv7 algorithm was proposed based on the YOLOv7 algorithm. Firstly, a feature enhancement module named the TC-ELAN module based on the self-attention mechanism was designed, which enables the feature map used for detection to obtain enhanced semantic information fused from multiple scale features. Secondly, in order to enhance the attention to the area of dense small objects and further improve the positioning accuracy of occluded small objects, this study redesigned the SPPCSPC structure. Then, the network structure was improved to alleviate the problem of decreased object detection accuracy caused by the loss of semantic feature information. Finally, experimental results on self-made datasets and mainstream maritime object detection datasets show that OS-YOLOv7 has a better object detection effect compared to other state-of-the-art (SOTA) object detection algorithms at the cost of reasonable inference time and parameter quantity and can achieve good object detection accuracy on mainstream datasets with high real-time performance.
