The purpose of load shedding in a ship's electrical system is to prevent the overload of generators and maintain the stability of the power supply. Ships have a finite amount of power generation capacity, and if the demand for power exceeds this capacity, the generators can become overloaded. This overload can cause the generators to trip offline, resulting in a blackout and a loss of essential services. Load shedding is a controlled p....
