      abstract = {This 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. It describes essential  principles and boundary conditions for ensuring the optimal  use of resources in a network, covering issues relating to  equipment service life, IT landscape and computer programs,  operational costs management, and investment and  maintenance strategies, highlighting their impact on the  organization of the company. This thoroughly revised and  updated second edition, includes extensive information  about IEC standard (IEC/TS 63060), and cover operation  research methods focusing on the optimization of the  maintenance tasks. Furthermore, a discussion on the  political environment has been included, with a special  emphasis on the European situation and the "Green Deal"  specifically, some measures to cope with the topic of  energy transition are presented. Last, but not least, a  brand-new chapter on condition assessment has been  included.},
