Study Of Full Life Cycle Cost Perspective, Grid Cost Of Doing Business

After the reformation of electric power system, power grid enterprise come to be economy entity who burden the gain and loss itself, thus power grid enterprise give cost management full attention. In the past few years, this subject have been made active progress, but it also has some problems. The representative problem is that the visual field of grid enterprises are narrow and they can not consider cost management from system optimization. This results in the high cost and can not be cut off. Thus a new management idea should be introduced to improve the cost management of power grid enterprise.Life Cycle Cost (LCC) management is an management idea if considering item's long-term economy benefit, which make life cycle cost minimum if all things considered such as programming, design, building, rebuild and discarding of equipment or system. Comparing to traditional economy analysis technology, LCC management focus on the long-term profit and try to make the long cost comes to its minimum point. After the success use in US military, LCC management gradually become maturation and internationalization. Many countries and civilian organization start to employ LCC method in equipment management. Some electric power corporation in the developed countries have began to do some research on LCC management problem on power grid assets.In power grid enterprise, capital and technology are very dense. It's main equipments have the characteristic of large initial investment, high running cost and long-term service. So in power grid enterprise, LCC management will be widely used. For a long time, power grid enterprise focus on the production cost in cost management. But according to LCC theory, invest cost, system cost and other cost which have been ignored in the past, have more affect on cost management in power grid enterprise. If we ascertain power grid enterprise's cost management from LCC viewpoint, we can cast off the bondage of traditional cost conception, and we can build up a new cost...
