Abstract

This chapter provides readers with background information on the evolution of asset management and the need for this CIGRE Green Book. The introduction provides an outline of the Green Book with samples of the information provided in each of the chapters in Part 1. The book includes detailed description of asset management analytical methods that are emerging or in development. While the methods documented in this book describe the current state of the practice and emerging methods, they also point to the need for utilities, businesses, and academics to develop better methods to value risk and to facilitate smarter and more profitable business investment decisions.
