A Framework for Maintenance Cost Analysis and Its Impact on United Arab Emirates (UAE) Energy Industry

Abstract

In UAE, to maintain self-sufficiency in power is economically competitive and will remain a core planning criterion for the emirates supply-side. When energy generation is enhanced in Abu Dhabi using regional interconnections, it becomes an emerging driver for market integration. This paper presents a framework that analyses the factors of maintenance cost in the UAE energy industry. Based on assessment, the UAE electricity efficiency is analyzed based on loses and gain as a component of maintenance monitoring and evaluation parameter. using Turf analysis, the analysis is computed based on reach and frequency for software generation priority. In both Reach and Frequency, we measure random numbers and cases in percentage for physical security, electrical approach in both situations. finally, the impact of maintenance cost based on relative important index, and exploratory factor analysis using correlation matrix, and communalities.
