This presentation will provide a detailed look at how Manitoba Hydro builds and applies whole-life cost models for the purpose of projecting performance, cost, and risk for an asset class. The application of predictive analytics, through the use of these models, will be discussed as it relates to a single asset class, to mature Manitoba Hydro’s asset management strategy.
