This study report results of a survey conducted in the EasternProvince of Saudi Arabia to explore the procedures and financialtechniques that large-size contractors utilise in replacingequipment. The results indicated that contractors set severalreplacement alternatives that they evaluate by using a set ofvarious qualitative and quantitative factors. The contractors’business objectives, employee safety and morale, and, contractors’image in the industry were found to be the most influentialqualitative factors affecting the decision of equipment replacement.Inflation, downtime, obsolescence, salvage value, and depreciationare among the top quantitative factors that contractors considerwhile making a decision to replace equipment. Because of theirsimplicity and practicality, the net present value, payback period,and the economic life are the most popular techniques that areutilised for analysing the financial issues of proposed replacementalternatives.

In view of the change in the profit model of the power grid under the new power reform, If grid companies want to improve their economic efficiency, they must expand the scale of effective assets of fixed assets and increase the number of effective assets within the understanding of the demand for electricity.By determining the factors affecting the power grid investment in the new environment,a risk model for the power grid investment under the new power reform is constructed.First,this paper uses the set pair analysis method algorithm and derives the relevant formula to quantify uncertainties in grid investment risk.Then,it gets the results of the calculation of the degree of connection of each scheme and combine set pair events with a net present value less than 0 for each set evens.At last,based on the above results,we get the best investment plan.Verified by the case of the HBN grid company,it shows that the investment risk model established is feasible and can provide an appropriate reference for the new power companies to change their investment decisions.

Electricity is able to make a positive change and contribution to people's lives and well-being. This study aims to assess the feasibility of investment in the construction of low voltage electricity networks. The method used with project evaluation analysis is based on financial analysis. The criteria used to analyze activities carried out for 10 years use payback period (PP) analysis, net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), and profitability index (IP). The results showed that the analysis of investment planning can be carried out with the consequence of the results obtained in the form of not so large returns. PP results show the investment value with the payback period method will Return in the 9th year, while the positive NPV value is still above zero while the IRR value shows the value of 11% below the social discount rate as well as the IP value showing the value of 0.90. The feasibility of investment in terms of economic-financial analysis by looking at per criteria shows that investment is still feasible to be carried out with minimal profit levels.

Intensive forest management requires an understanding of the effect that silvicultural treatments have on wood properties, standing yield, log quality, product value, and net present value. These needs are addressed by a system of models (SYLVER) which includes the Tree and Stand Simulator (TASS), Root Rot Simulator (ROTSIM), Sawmill Simulator (SAWSIM), and the new Financial Analysis System (FAN$Y). The latter will be used by field foresters to compare the merits of candidate treatments for specific stands. Key words: Silviculture, growth and yield, juvenile wood, log quality, end-product value, net present value, Pseudotsuga menziesii, Phellinus weirii, modelling, TASS, ROTSIM, SAWSIM, FAN$Y, SYLVER.

Today, utilities are faced with many equipment maintenance decisions, including whether to implement periodic replacement or to begin an inspection or condition monitoring program. Determination of an optimum maintenance strategy can be difficult because of the financial implications and the probabilistic aspect of the aging process. The Proactive Aging Management (PAM) Tool is a program that can be implemented by utilities to achieve maintenance optimization. PAM supports the decision making process by providing a financial analysis that assesses the impact of outage, inspection, repair and replacement costs together with the effects of aging on the failure rates of a particular component. PAM evaluates the present value of each maintenance strategy and optimizes maintenance parameters such as replacement date or inspection frequency. Component level models in PAM allow the system engineer to determine the best maintenance strategy for a given component. This paper describes an application of PAM that compares the options of inspection or proactive replacement to a base case run-to-failure strategy. The net present value (NPV) over the life of the plant is the metric by which strategies are compared. The NPV is generated for several combinations of inspection and proactive replacement costs. The results provide insight on the optimum choice based on the respective relative costs of each strategy.
