contents This paper proposes a distributed diagnosis scheme to detect and estimate actuator and power line faults in DC microgrids (e.g., electric-vehicle charging microgrids) subject to unknown power loads and stochastic noise. To address actuator faults, we develop an optimization-based filter design approach within the differential-algebraic equation (DAE) framework, which achieves fault estimation, decoupling from power line faults, and robustness against noise. In contrast, the estimation of power line faults poses greater challenges due to the inherent coupling between fault currents and unknown power loads, especially under insufficient system excitation, where their effects become difficult to distinguish from measurements. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to address this critical yet underexplored issue. Our solution introduces a novel differentiate-before-estimate strategy. A set of diagnosis rules based on the temporal characteristics (i.e., duration of threshold violation) of a constructed residual is developed to distinguish step load changes from line faults. Once a power line fault is detected, a regularized least-squares (LS) method is activated to estimate the fault currents, for which we further derive an upper bound on the estimation error. Finally, comprehensive simulations validate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in terms of estimation accuracy and robustness against disturbances and noise under different fault scenarios.
