Scalzo started his career with Westinghouse's Aviation Gas Turbine Division in Kansas City, Kansas, in 1953 and then moved to the Small Steam & Gas Turbine Division headquarters in Lester, Pennsylvania, where he continued his work on industrial and power generation gas turbines. Around 1970, he was appointed Manager of Gas Turbine Engine Engineering, and was generally considered to be the "Father of the W501." This highly successful family of large power generating gas turbines, introduced at around 40MW in 1968, is still the basis of the design of large gas turbines rated at upwards of 300MW.]]>

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.]]>
