Unit 1 at the Miami Fort Power Station in Ohio, commissioned in 1925. This 45 MW turbine operated at a steam pressure of 600 psi, becoming the highest pressure unit in commercial operation in the United States. For comparison, steam pressures of up to 5,000 psi were achieved in super-critical plants as early as the 1950s. Eventually, Miami Fort's first two units were scrapped to make way for a larger and more efficient turbine-generator which is still in service to this day. |
