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.

Currency is used only for optional blackout-value reporting. No exchange-rate conversion is performed.

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.

Use Emergency Load Tier Running kW PF Start kVA × No-Break?
Use 1.0 for Start kVA × on non-motor loads. Higher values model motor or transformer inrush conservatively as an apparent-power multiple.

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.
