Perle Street Station

Description

Pearl Street Station var det første kommercielle centrale kraftværk i USA. Det var beliggende på 255-257 Pearl Street i Manhattan på et område, der målte 50 ved 100 fod, lige syd for Fulton Street og drevet af kul. Det begyndte med seks dynamoer, og det begyndte at generere elektricitet den 4. september 1882, hvilket betjente en indledende belastning af 400 lamper hos 82 kunder. I 1884 betjente Pearl Street Station 508 kunder med 10.164 lamper. Stationen blev bygget af Edison Illuminating Company under ledelse af Francis Upton, ansat af Thomas Edison.

Stationen blev oprindeligt drevet af skræddersyede Porter-Allen højhastighedsdampmaskiner designet til at yde 175 hestekræfter ved 700 omdrejninger pr. minut, men disse viste sig at være upålidelige med deres følsomme reguleringssystemer. De blev fjernet og erstattet med nye motorer fra Armington & Sims, som viste sig at være meget mere velegnede til Edisons dynamoer.
