Proceedings of the 35th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences- 2002operation of the system. Many products have been developed along these lines for power system engineering. Most of these are focused on simulating the system under sinusoidal steady state operation. Projecting the capabilities of the new technologies, claims of replacing physical laboratories with a virtual environment have surfaced. A virtual laboratory should have the following features: the inner workings of the motor, magnetic field distribution and interaction, small rotor oscillations, etc. A virtual laboratory can provide this information using appropriate visualization techniques. In a physical laboratory, most fast transients will be missed because of limitations in human observability speed. A virtual laboratory can provide this capability. For, example, the operation of the system can be Oper
