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 Combustion Turbine Cogeneration Alternative Title Combustion Turbine Cogeneration Subject Westinghouse Electric Corporation Turbines Description This item is a brochure produced by Westinghouse Combustion Turbine Systems Division in Concordville, Pennsylvania, to describe the application of the 50MW model W251B10 and 100MW W501D5 combustion turbines (a.k.a. gas turbines) for use in cogeneration plants. Such plants were built for the simultaneous production of both electric energy and useful thermal energy for industrial process use. In the early 1980s, cogeneration became very popular among independent (non-utility) power generators (or Independent Power Producers, IPPs) since it enabled the owner to obtain an exemption from the Fuel Use Act, which, as part of the broad National Energy Act of 1978, specifically prohibited the base load (i.e. continuous year-'round) production of electricity using oil or natural gas fuels. Cogeneration plants were exempt from the Fuel Use Act due to their high efficiency compared to power-only generating plants. Also, owners of cogeneration plants were allowed to sell the electricity that they produced to the local electric utility company under another part of the National Energy Act, namely, the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act, popularly known as "PURPA." the brochure provides data on the power and efficiency (heat rate) of the W251B10 and W501D5 gas turbines, as well data on the steam production capability by each via use of heat recovery boilers or steam generators.
