“…In this paper, we aim to develop a methodology based on Symbolic Dynamics (SD) (Ray, 2004;Rohan, 2006) that can be used to generate diagnostic measures from a degrading dc-dc converter. Symbolic Dynamics has been applied to many systems including inverter fed induction machines (Rohan et al, 2006), fatigue crack diagnosis (Singh et al, 2010), and in nuclear power plant operations (Jin et al, 2011).…”
