Continuing with FIG. 24, the client 128 is typically a conventional thin-client or thick-client computing device that may utilize a variety of network interfaces (e.g., web browser, CITRIX?, WINDOWS TERMINAL SERVICES?, telnet, or other equivalent thin-client terminal applications, etc.) to access, configure, and modify the sensors (e.g., configuration files, etc.), analytics engine (e.g., configuration files, analytics logic, etc.), calibration parameters (e.g., configuration files, calibration parameters, etc.), virtual system modeling engine (e.g., configuration files, simulation parameters, choice of contingency event to simulate, etc.), 3D visualization engine (e.g., configuration files, 3D visualization parameters, etc.) and virtual system model of the system under management (e.g., virtual system model operating parameters and configuration files). Correspondingly, in one embodiment, the data from the various components of the electrical system and the real-time predictions (forecasts) about the health, performance, reliability and availability of the electrical system can be displayed on a client 128 display panel for viewing by a system administrator or equivalent. In another embodiment, the data may be summarized in a hard copy report 2404.
