Some aspects of life cycle management and application of the life cycle cost analysis method when selecting the impact on physical production assets of electric grid organizations
The Russian electric power industry is implementing risk-based approaches (hereinafter referred to as ROP) to asset management to improve the economic efficiency of organizations and improve the technical condition of the electric grid complex, which is characterized by a significant share of fixed assets with a high level of depreciation. The article examines the concepts of "asset", "physical asset" and "production asset" and suggests the formulation of "production physical asset" in relation to the tangible assets of network organizations for production purposes. The author analyzes theoretical aspects of the lifecycle of the asset, the use of Life-Cycle Cost Analysis (hereinafter LCCA) and their reflection in methodical support from the state for the implementation of the ROP asset management in electric power industry of the Russian Federation. Areas for strengthening the application of LCCA in terms of selecting the planned technical impact on the physical production assets of electric grid organizations are identified, and proposals for their improvement are formed.
