1. A method for identifying and managing stress conditions, risk state or aging state associated with at least one capacitor associated with an electrical device in an electrical power system, comprising:
detecting at least one of motion and sounds associated with the at least one capacitor;
analyzing at least the detected at least one of motion and sounds associated with the at least one capacitor to identify possible stress conditions, risk state or aging state associated with the at least one capacitor and associated components;
in response to identifying possible stress conditions, risk state or aging state, determining probable impacts of the possible stress conditions, risk state or aging state on the at least one capacitor and associated components; and
taking at least one action to reduce or eliminate the possible stress conditions, risk state or aging state based, at least in part, on the determined impacts.
