Abstract :
Integration of asset management and outage management tasks for distribution system is proposed and discussed. The necessity of integration is presented, followed by a description of the concept of integration. The optimization of asset and outage management tasks based on the integrated processing and evaluation of the influence of optimization on the cost of system outage is elaborated. Potential benefit of integration in distribution system is analyzed in terms of system reliability and return of investment for utilities.
