Narrative:

During taxi after cooling period of the engine; we secured the #2 engine and had a surge in electrical power. We lost steering and braking. I stopped the aircraft momentarily and advised ATC of the situation. After about a minute the aircraft cleared every message on the EICAS; and I was able to re-engage the steering and regained braking capability. We advised ATC; and we were given taxi instructions. Unfortunately we turned to the right; instead of turning left. ATC made us aware of our mistake; I responded that I could execute a 180. The controller gave us the option of a 180 turn; after executing the turn we were given new taxi instructions. There was no interface with other aircraft.the loss of steering and braking created a distraction and a confusing of the taxi instructions.
