Asset management capabilities in the electricity and in the gas sector have reached a new level
The main challenge for the asset manager is to balance conflicting targets over time
General targets are sector independent, e.g.: save revenue, minimize costs
and increase profits ensure asset availability and quality obey regulatory constraints (re)consider investment and maintenance strategies

The different history of electricity and gas grids leads to different starting points
main grid extensions took place in different point in time
“position” of the grid in its lifecycle is unequal
closed circle of renewal for gas grids are (often) not yet completed (e.g. expected lifetime of pipes)
different development of grids in the future expected

Using asset simulation in different sectors, sector specific parameters have to be adapted
specific plant safety aspects specific technical rules (VDE/DVGW – German Technical and
Scientific Association for Gas and Water) predefine some parameters to a specific valid range (e.g. maintenance interval) – still having hundreds of decision parameters
specific technologies, e.g. grid design, materials, mechanical stress, ..
specific external requirements, e.g. regulatory aspects or requirements through “EEG” (Renewable Energy Sources Act) and different customer needs asset simulation tool

Tools and methods can be adapted – as long as specific parameters and targets are retained
similarities concerned asset management and the appliance of tools and methodologies
individual parameters, targets and dependencies have to be represented in an appropriate way
strategy benchmarks described in the paper can be adapted to the needs of an electricity distribution grid provider and may be enhanced with specific required key figures
combination of tools and methodologies (e.g. asset simulation, sensitivity analysis, strategy benchmark, asset optimization) enables asset managers to focus on their core competences while regarding a wider range of requirements
