Operating and maintenance costs
Costs of electrical losses
Utility outage costs (repair costs, damage costs)
Customer outage costs

7. An integrated management of the life-cycle-cost elements requires close integration of:
System and customer data
Topology management
GIS
Electrical simulations
Reliability analysis
Investment management
Maintenance management
Economical optimization/analyses

8. One solution

9. Conclusion Technical-economical decision support to be managed in NIS
