PurposeLiterature shows that the economics of early failures in maintenance and electric utilities have not been deeply analyzed. This study aims to focus on quantifying the economic impact that early failures in current transformers have on total maintenance costs. The empirical study is conducted in a regional transmission division of an electric utility located in Mexico.Design/methodology/approachThe utility's database was accessed to collect 219 maintenance records. Clustering techniques were used to identify early failures from a bimodal distribution of failures. Confirmatory goodness-of-fit procedures followed the analysis, and finally, direct and opportunity costs were estimated by adapting the cost-of-quality (PAF) Model.FindingsAround 11% of all maintenance activities are triggered by early failures, and they account for up to US$2.2m during the eight-year period under study, which represents 16% of total maintenance costs. Additionally, opportunity costs represent close to two-thirds of the total costs due to early failures. This was obtained after finding and validating a clear-cut border of 3.5 months between early failures and the rest.Originality/valueFailures in energy grids and power transmission can have a large economic impact on the power industry and the society in general. Thus, the maintenance function in equipment such as current transformers is a crucial entry of the budget of any electric utility. This study is one of the very few that highlights the magnitude and importance of direct and opportunity costs derived from early failures.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah adalah (1) untuk mengetahui kondisi umum perikanan tangkapbibit lobster mencakup ekologi sosial ekonomi; (2).mengetahui kedepan perkiraan dampak Permen KPNo 1 Tahun 2015 tentang Penangkapan Lobster (Panulirus spp), Kepiting (Scylla sp) dan Rajungan(Portunus pelagicus spp) setelah diberlakukan mencakup ekologi sosial ekonomi; (3) Menyusun strategipengelolaan pemanfaatan bibit lobster yang menjunjung nilai keberlanjutan secara ekologi, ekonomi dansosial.

Hasil yang diperoleh dari penelitian ini adalahpenangkapan bibit lobster sudah menjadi mata pencaharian utama nelayan di Lombok Tengah danLombok Timur dan meningkatkan kesejahteraaan rumah tangga nelayan. Penangkapan bibit lobstersemakin berkembang karena para permintaan akan bibit lobster masih terbuka lebar dan bibit lobster yangmudah tertangkap diperairan Lombok Selatan tanpa menggunakan alat tangkap yang modern. Dampaksosial ekonomi yang ditimbulkan oleh Permen KP No 1 Tahun 2015 bagi nelayan penangkap bibit lobsteradalah menurunnya pendapatan nelayan karena tidak dapat lagi menjual hasil tangkapan dibawah 300gram dan berdampak kehidupan nelayan seperti menjual barang-barang yang dimiliki untuk memenuhikebutuhan sehari-hari, pendidikan dan kesehatan.Strategi pengelolaan perlu melakukan pendekatansosial. Pentingnya pendekatan sosial agar implikasi kebijakan publik membawa perubahan yang positifpada masyarakat. Pengelolaan keberlanjutan bibit lobster yang dapat diberlakukan untuk memperkayaPermen No 1/2015 tanpa harus merusak lingkungan dan meningkatkan taraf hidup masyarakat pesisiradalah perlu mengatur waktu menangkap, mengatur kuota yang diperbolehkan ditangkap, mengaturukuran yang boleh ditangkap yang syarat pemanfaatan tertentu berdasarkan ukuran tersebut.Title: Strategy of Sustanibility Seed Lobster Management in LombokThe purpose of this research are to find out ecological, social and economic aspect of seed lobstercapture fisheries generally; to find out ecological, social and economic impact of Ministry Rules Number1 2015 about Lobster (Panulirus spp), Mud Crap (Scylla sp) and Swiming Crap (Portunus pelagicusspp) and to formulate management stategy for uphold sustainaibility of seed lobster The approach ofthis research using destrictive method and collect the data by depth intervew with key informan andconduct focus group discussion (FGD) The result of this research is capture of seed lobster give impactto economic household and become main activity of fisherman. Demand of seed lobster stiil wide openand seed lobster easy to catch without modern gear. Social economic impact because Minitry RulesNumber 1/2015 enactment is reduced income of fisherman because no any more to sell their seedlobster below 300 gram weight and give influence in their daily life. To fulfill their needs, they have to selltheir goods. Management strategi need social approach. The importance of this approach is the publicpolicy implication give positive change in community life. Sustainibility management of seed lobster toenrich Ministry Rules number 1/2015 without environment damage and increase human life degree areneed to set time to capture, set total allowed catch based on maximun sustainabel yield, set size allowedcatch with use certain term.

Southeast Asia country are mostly classified as developing country. One of the aspects that ASEAN concern is the energy poverty problem. Based on the statistics known, around 127 million people in the SEA facing lack of access of electricity. Besides that, 228 million people highly depending traditional biomass to fulfil their daily needs. Myanmar is one of the sixth poorest country in the SEA. The access of electricity in Myanmar are low and experience slow improvement over a decade. Energy policy had been drafted and implemented by Myanmar government. However, the result is no significant. This paper aims to analyze the social economic impact on the energy consumption of Myanmar. The aspect of analyze include energy use, foreign direct investment, population growth, industry value added, GDP per capita growth and trade. Multivariate analysis method adopts which includes descriptive statistics analysis, unit root test, Johannsen cointegration analysis, vector error correction model and Granger causality test. The result shows unidirectional Granger causality for energy consumption with all the aspects. Analyzed data play important role in the future policy planning. Policies such as renewable energy policy, reducing energy prices, taxes and subsidies can help in increasing energy consumption which will bring up other social economic.
