Abstract: Due to rising awareness on environmental protection and for maintenance of clean habitable communities, current and next generation micro-grids are desired to have significant penetration of renewable and clean energy sources. However, a critical issue is the growth of faults in various components of micro-grids, which comprise the underlying energy generation and distribution infrastructure. Moreover, faults can manifest through different failure modes in the same component. If timely diagnostics and maintenance actions are not undertaken, then these faults can cause instabilities, inefficient power generation, and other losses. Therefore, it is important not only to understand the various failure modes, and their root causes and effects, but also to develop real-time automated diagnostics tools that can capture the early signatures of fault evolution for mitigating actions.
