Abstract EN
All projects take place within a context of uncertainty.
That is especially noticeable in complex hydroelectric power generation projects, which are affected by factors such as the large number of multidisciplinary tasks to be performed in parallel, long execution times, or the risks inherent in various fields like geology, hydrology, and structural, electrical, and mechanical engineering, among others.
Such factors often lead to cost overruns and delays in projects of this type.
This paper analyzes the efficiency of the Earned Value Management technique and its Earned Schedule extension, as means of forecasting costs and deadlines when applied to complex hydroelectric power production projects.
It is worth noting that this analysis was based on simulation models applied to real-life projects.
The results showed that cost forecasting becomes very accurate over time, whereas duration forecasting is not reliably accurate.
