Energy Balance

Do your sources reliably cover your consumers?

Every electrical system runs on one question: can your generators, batteries, and converters carry every consumer, under the conditions that matter? An energy balance makes that answer transparent – a shared basis for engineering, project management, suppliers, operators, and inspectors, not a number buried in a spreadsheet.

Why it matters

One transparent answer, not a spreadsheet.

  • Verify correct sizing of generators, batteries, converters, switchboards, cables
  • Understand peak loads and load distribution
  • Ensure redundancy and fault tolerance, especially in isolated grids
  • Model normal, emergency, and redundant supply paths explicitly, not as an afterthought
  • Support certification, audits, and regulatory approval

Stays accurate as your design changes

Your load balance doesn't go stale the moment a device, system, or connection changes – it stays current automatically, without rebuilding a spreadsheet from scratch every time something moves. Devices that serve more than one role or run on more than one electrical system are handled the same way, without extra workarounds.

Every scenario, side by side

See normal operation, peak load, and emergency supply evaluated side by side – for exactly the operating conditions your project needs, whether that's harbour, sea, manoeuvring, or a scenario unique to your plant or vessel. Nothing is limited to a fixed, predefined list.

One number everyone can trust

Drawings and calculations never quietly drift apart. Whatever changes in your engineering data, there's exactly one current, authoritative energy balance – ready for your own team, your suppliers, and your classification society, not just for whoever built the last spreadsheet.

Export results as PDF for documentation and classification, or Excel for further analysis, at both device and system level – whenever a milestone or an audit needs them, not only at the end of the project.(Richer scenario tooling – comparing alternative setups before committing to one – is next on the roadmap.)

One principle, every industry

Not just a maritime concept.

Maritime

Mandatory, formalized, a core approval artifact.

Industrial plants

Power balance / load list – motor starting, harmonics, grid limits.

Buildings & facilities

Load calculations – peak demand, diversity factors, emergency power.

Who uses it

Electrical engineers · Project & commissioning teams · Operators · Classification societies & regulators · Customers needing traceable design decisions
