This factor is completely encompassed by civil engineering but still affects the electrical engineering segment. Like all other plants, power sector structures do not remain untouched by the adverse effects of the progressing course of time. Due to the advance of time and its degrading effects, the efficacy of the system is hampered, which in turn is accompanied by the economic as well as efficiency losses. Restructuring and load up-gradation needs vast investments and through planning to incorporate the compactible structures to balance the load requirements and sustain the overburdened demands. The adverse effects of deterioration of the system can be changed by implementing the following means:

 Preventive maintenance

 Replacement of degrading units

 Annual renewal planning

 Implementation of the latest technologies to improve the performance

 Annual performance audit

Apart from these, many other strategies have been found to be implemented by network operators to improve the system performance and enhance the revenue.
