Title Westinghouse Electric Collection Alternative Title Westinghouse Collection Subject Westinghouse Electric Corporation Description Originally called the Westinghouse Electric Company, George Westinghouse (1846-1914) founded his manufacturing company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on January 8, 1886. In 1889, he renamed his business the The Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company. Westinghouse's primary products include turbines, generators, motors and switchgear related to the generation, transmission, and use of electricity. The company changed its name to Westinghouse Electric Corporation in 1945. In 1981, the company began to relocate its divison headquarters for the Steam-Turbine Generator Divisions from Pennsylvania (turbines from Lester and generators from Pittsburgh) to Orlando, Florida. The Power Generation Business Unit (PGBU) building was located in The Quadrangle, at 4400 Alafaya Trail. Originally, Westinghouse had purchased a large plot of land for future development that extended westward from Alafaya Trail to Rouse Road. The original headquarters was located on several acres of that land parcel close to Alafaya Trail.<br /><br />In 1994, after a major corporate management shuffling, and a top-level decision to change from an industrial manufacturing company to primarily a broadcasting/communications company, Westinghouse bought the CBS Network and changed its name to the CBS Corporation. As the PGBU grew in size, other buildings in the area were leased and then, after PGBU was sold to Siemens Corporation of Germany in 1998, additional buildings (Quad II and Quad III) were added to the original complex at the Quadrangle. From 1998 to 2003 the Orlando operation was known as Siemens-Westinghouse, after which the name of Westinghouse was dropped. The operation has been known as Siemens from that time forward.

Title Westinghouse: The Power Behind Combined Cycle Plants Alternative Title Power Behind Combined Cycle Plants Subject Westinghouse Electric Corporation Description A brochure that contains a summary of Westinghouse' Electric's gas turbine experience, starting during the 1940s when Westinghouse developed the first American-designed jet engine under contract with the U.S. Navy.<br /><br />Westinghouse Electric Corporation was a pioneer in the development of combined cycle power technology. The combined cycle concept marries gas turbine and steam turbine power generation by utilizing the "waste" heat energy in the exhaust of the gas turbine to generate steam to drive the steam turbine generator. Earliest combined cycle plants, installed during the early 1960s, were usually one-of-of-a-kind customized designs. In 1971, Westinghouse introduced the PACE (Power At Combined Efficiencies) pre-engineered combined cycle plant based on using two 80 MW W501B gas turbines and one 100 MW steam turbine. This brochure was produced in 1991 by the Power Generation Business Unit, headquartered at The Quadrangle, Orlando, FL, to describe the then-current combined cycle products offered by Westinghouse. Standardized plants ranged in size from the 68 MW plant based on one W251B11/12 gas turbine to the nominal 500MW 2-on-1 plant using two W501F gas turbines.
