Abstract
An electrical load life-cycle management and analysis system and method are disclosed. In the system and method, a database module stores electrical system configuration data and electrical system requirements, and an electrical system analysis module determines electrical system performance characteristics as a function of and based on the electrical system configuration data. In addition, an electrical system configuration management module manages at least one change to the electrical system configuration data, and compares the electrical system performance characteristics to the electrical system requirements to enable optimal performance and to provide compliance information.
