thanks rudderrudderrat!

Am i correct in saying that the purpose of the AC/DC ESS SHED bus is to cut off certain feeders (who would normally feed off the AC/DC ESS) from the AC/ESS bus for emergency purposes?

Better put, is the principle that:
The AC/DC ESS bus are busses that ensure an electrical supply to only the most important users during an electrical emergency. Then during an electrical emergency these users may be further sub-divided with regards to importance as there is not enough electrical supply for all the essential users, (hence a separate bus is created allowing for the removal of less important users) therefore those users attached to the AC/DC ESS SHED bus are cut off from the electrical supply leaving those users on the AC/DC ESS having priority to the remaining electrical supply.

is this correct?

Thanks mate
