Emergency electric supply system
Emergency power systems are installed to protect life and property from the consequences of loss of primary electric power supply. In combat, a ship may lose the function of its boilers, which power the for the can be lost due to downed lines, malfunctions at a sub-station, inclement weather, planned or in extreme cases a -wide failure. Computers, communication networks, and other modern electronic devices need not only power, but also a steady flow of it to continue to operate. This central battery system consists of cell units to make up a 12 or 24 VDC system as well.

Electric distribution systems
Distribution substations connect to the transmission system and lower the transmission voltage to medium voltage ranging between 2 kV and 33 kV with the use of transformers. Traditionally, the distribution systems would only operate as simple distribution lines where the electricity from the would. Electricity is delivered at a frequency of either 50 or 60 Hz, depending on the region.

Hybrid power supply
Hybrid systems, as the name implies, combine two or more modes of electricity generation together, usually using renewable technologies such as solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbines. • • Hydro and solar is usually added to existing hydro rather than building both together.
