Asset Management for Infrastructure Systems

Focusing on asset management processes for energy and water utilities, this book emphasizes the balance between investment returns for asset owners and reliable supply for regulators. It outlines practical considerations for developing competitive structures in a regulated environment, ensuring organizational transparency. Key topics include resource optimization, equipment service life, and maintenance strategies, alongside updates on IEC standards and operational research methods. A new chapter on condition assessment and discussions on the political landscape, particularly the European Green Deal, enhance its relevance.
