Ship Universe Emergency Electrical Resilience Tool
Ship Emergency Power, UPS & Blackout Endurance Tool
Model the blackout bridge from instantaneous UPS support through emergency-generator pickup, then test steady-state load, reserve margin, motor-start transient capacity, load-restoration steps and fuel-backed endurance. Advanced mode builds the analysis from individual emergency loads and shows which loads should be restored, staggered or shed first.

Emergency Load Map
Build the emergency bus from individual loads. No-break loads feed the UPS bridge. Tier groups drive restoration sequencing and step-load checks.

Engineering scope:
this tool separates three different questions that are often mixed
together: can the UPS bridge the dead-bus period, can the emergency
generator accept and carry the restored load, and can the fuel supply
sustain the required operating period? A system can pass one of these
screens and still fail another.
Enter emergency-generation, UPS, load-restoration and fuel assumptions to
build the blackout resilience screen.
Engineering screening only.
This tool does not establish statutory emergency-power arrangements,
required emergency loads, permitted transfer times, battery duration, fuel
endurance or redundancy. Actual design depends on vessel type, flag, class,
approved single-line diagrams, protection settings, generator excitation
and governor response, motor starting method, transformer inrush, UPS
topology, battery chemistry and aging, cable voltage drop, breaker
coordination, ambient conditions and equipment-specific transient
capability. Motor starting is modeled as a simplified apparent-power
multiple and tier step loads are conservatively treated as simultaneous
blocks. Validate final emergency-power and blackout-recovery decisions with
the vessel's approved electrical documentation, OEM data, test records and
qualified marine electrical engineering review.
