Electrical power is everything aboard a spacecraft. Without electricity, the ship does not have anything else. Aside from, maybe, windows. As such, power is seperated into two distinct systems: Main Power generation, and Power transfer.
Main Power Generation
Typical main power generation is not so different from it's terrestrial counterparts. Most ships prefer nuclear reactor technology for it's extremely high output vs size ratio. Nearly all inter-stellar spacecraft use a power source that is atomic in nature.
