In this paper, we develop an early-stage design tool to model the energy distribution system of an all-electric warship. The development of a design model is now possible because we have adopted the concept of space reservation in the form of integrated modular power corridors. Our initial study focuses only on a subsystem of the energy distribution system; namely, the shipboard electric bus, the load centers in the ship, and the converters needed to transform the bus power to the power needed by the load. Our design procedure starts by selecting the number of corridors (N where $\mathrm {N} \gt 1)$, and dividing the ship’s electric bus equally among the corridors. Our objective is to develop a balanced network of connections that can deliver full power between the generators and the loads using any of the N-1 corridors.
