Westinghouse Combustion Turbine Systems Division
Part of Westinghouse Electric Corporation's Westinghouse Power Generation group, the Westinghouse Combustion Turbine Systems Division (CTSD) was originally located, along with the Steam Turbine Systems Division (STSD), in a major industrial facility in the Tinicum Township in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, near the Philadelphia International Airport.
According to CTSD marketing brochures from the early 1980s, Westinghouse innovations included "the first combustion turbine used commercially in the United States, first use of cooled blades and vanes in an industrial unit, and the world's largest and most efficient combined cycle plant".〔"(Westinghouse Combustion Turbine Development Center )." Westinghouse Electric Corporation (Marketing Brochure); Concordville, Pa.; September, 1982.〕 Fueled by natural gas, that first commercial unit, known as 1800-hp W21, was installed in 1949 at the Mississippi River Fuel Corporation and became "the first in the world to operate for more than 100,000 hours." By 1984, more than 1200 Westinghouse-designed gas turbines had been put into operation in 57 countries.〔"(Westinghouse Combustion Turbine Cogeneration )." Westinghouse Electric Corporation (Marketing Brochure); Concordville, Pa.; June 1984.〕
Often referred to as a gas turbine, a modern combustion turbine operates on a variety of gaseous and liquid fuels ranging from light distillates to residual oil. In fact, most are installed with multi-fuel capability to take advantage of changes in cost and availability of various fuels.
==Early history==
Dating from the turn of the 20th century, this group of buildings at the Tinicum site (often referred to as Lester Works) housed engineering, marketing, and manufacturing facilities where utility-scale gas and steam turbines were designed, developed, and fabricated for sale to utility companies and major industrial complexes. Combustion turbines ranged in capacity up to 100 MW for the top-of-the-line W501D series. While Westinghouse didn't sell its first utility-scale gas turbine until 1949, the company manufactured and shipped its first steam turbine in 1897.〔(Sic 3511: Steam, Gas, And Hydraulic Turbines, And Turbine Generator Set Units ). Advameg, Inc. Retrieved 4 July 2013.〕 The term “Lester Works” derives from the Lester Piano Works. Along with Westinghouse, that company was one of two pioneering industries in the Tinicum area.
