The book offers a broad overview of asset management processes for
different utilities, with a special emphasis on energy and water.
It provides readers with important practical considerations
concerning the development of new competitive structures and
procedures for guaranteeing a sufficient supply of energy and water
in a regulated environment, using clearly defined technical and
economic cornerstones. On the one hand asset owners expect suitable
interests from their investment and business growth; on the other
hand regulators focus more on a reliable and cost-effective
customer supply. This book shows how to take into consideration
these different perspectives in the process of designing new
structures and how to guarantee organizational transparency. Based
on the major tasks of an asset manager, it describes essential
principles and boundary conditions for ensuring the optimal use of
resources in a network, such as investment and maintenance
strategies, equipment service life, investment and operational
costs, etc. Moreover, it points out their impact on the
organization of the company, including the necessary IT landscape
and computer programs. The book is the English translation of Asset
Management für Infrastrukturanlagen - Energie und Wasser1, written
by the same authors and published by Springer in 2014.
