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.

Description
In April of 1987, the Combustion Turbine Systems Division of Westinghouse Electric Corporation was relocated from its prior headquarters in Concordville, Pennsylvania to the World Headquarters of Westinghouse Power Generation located at The Quadrangle, on Alafaya Trail, across from the University of Central in Orlando, Florida. This brochure was prepared shortly after the move, first, as an internal communications document, and then reprinted for general distribution. It features an interview with Augie Scalzo, a long-time gas turbine engineer and engineering manager. After the move to Orlando, Scalzo was named Technical Director of Combustion Turbine Operations.<br /><br />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.

Description
The item is a copy of a reprinted article from the <em>Gas Turbine World</em> magazine issue for November-December of 1994. The subject of the article is the Westinghouse-Mitsubishi 501G gas turbine that had been introduced at the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) International Gas Turbine Conference earlier that year. The 501G was a new gas turbine engine design featuring the results of a joint design effort of Westinghouse Power Generation and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) of Japan. Other input to the design was provided by other members of a multi-national alliance, which included FiatAvio of Italy and Rolls-Royce of the United Kingdom. The 501G was touted as the "largest and most efficient" gas turbine in the world. Introductory simple-cycle power rating was 230MW and simple-cycle efficiency was 38.5 percent (8,860 Btu/kWh, gas, LHV, ISO conditions). The combined cycle performance being quoted at the time was 345MW with a heat rate of 5,883 Btu/kWh (58% efficiency). The 501G was last of the long line of Westinghouse gas turbines before the company was acquired by Siemens AG of Germany in 1998. The first 501G was built at Westinghouse's factory in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, and installed at the McIntosh Station in Lakeland, Florida, in 1998.

Description
A brochure about Westinghouse Electric's Power At Combined Efficiencies (PACE) system for intermediate-load power plants. In 1970, the Westinghouse Electric Corporation's Gas Turbine Systems Division, located in Lester and Eddystone, Pennsylvania, introduced its pioneering concept for a pre-engineered packaged combined-cycle power plant comprised of two W-501 gas turbines, two heat recovery boilers (or heat recovery steam generators), and one 100MW steam turbine. The first PACE plant was called PACE 260, based on the nominal power rating (260MW) of the plant. The gas turbine model was then designated the W-501B, with a nominal rating of 75MW. Later, in the mid-1970s, with the advent of the first 100MW-class W-501D, the PACE plant rating was increased to approximately 320MW, without the use of any supplemental firing of the HRSGs, as was the case with the PACE 260. This brochure was for the PACE 320 and is the second such PACE brochure. The first was published around 1971 for the PACE 260.

150 MW Class 501F Design to Begin Full Load Factory Testing This Summer
Description
This article was published by the <em>Gas Turbine World</em> magazine in the May-June 1989 issue. It reports on the status of the new Westinghouse 501F advanced gas turbine that was jointly developed with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI). At the time, the prototype or first-build was being completed at the MHI factory in Japan. The 150MW-class 501F was the first new gas turbine design to be offered by Westinghouse Electric Corporation following the move of the Combustion Turbine Operations department of the Power Generation Business Unit (PGBU) to Orlando, Florida, in 1987.<br /><br />Originally called the Westinghouse Electric Company, George Westinghouse (1846-1914) founded his manufacturing company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on January 8, 1886.

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
Power Systems Business Unit
Description
This brochure was published around mid-1986 to announce a major restructuring of Westinghouse Electric's Power Systems Business Unit (PSBU). Until that time, the unit was composed of two separate business units: Nuclear Energy Systems, headquartered in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, and Power Generation, headquartered in Pittsburgh and in Orlando, Florida. At the time, Power Generation factories were located in Charlotte and Winston Salem, North Carolina, and in East Pittsburgh. The reorganization announced in this brochure brings the Nuclear and Power Generation operations under one sub-corporate organization, the Power Systems Business Unit, which was to be managed by Jim Moore, Vice President and General Manager, reporting to Executive Vice President Theodore Stern. Directly affecting the Orlando operation was the naming of Tom Campbell as General Manager of Generation Technology Systems Division. Campbell transferred to Orlando, where he became site manager for the next two years.

Early Westinghouse Gas Turbine Power Generating Unit
Description
This photograph shows the installation of the first Westinghouse 40MW model W501A gas turbine, located at the Dow Chemical Company's on-site power generation facilities in Freeport, Texas. Dow was a major customer of Westinghouse gas turbine generators and was a pioneer in application of gas turbines for industrial on-site power generation, combined with exhaust heat recovery for production of process steam or additional power. Dow’s first gas turbine, also installed in this way at the facility in Freeport, was a Westinghouse 30MW model W301, which started operation in 1965. In all, Dow installed some 20 Westinghouse gas turbines in Texas and at their site in Plaquemine, Louisiana. Today, this combined heat and power (CHP) application of gas turbines is commonplace and is also known as gas turbine cogeneration.<br /><br />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.
