Introduction
Historical development

The power grid as we know it began with isolated power generation systems across the
world starting in the 1870s. The growth and unification of the systems into an
interconnected AC power 'grid' helped raise the quality of life of people from all classes.
DC power systems dominated in the 1870's and 1880s. "Small" systems were sold to
factories around the world, both in urban areas, and remote undeveloped areas for
industrial/mining use. Thomas Edison, Charles Brush, and Werner von Siemens led
the industry in DC systems. DC systems powered factories and small downtown areas but
did not reach 95% of residents. Electric lighting was a luxury found only in hotels and other
businesses as well as in the mansions of people like George Westinghouse.
AC Power provided the solution to distance transmission. AC also provided a solution to
interconnect generation sites. The development of the 3-phase AC power system in the
late 1880s proved the effectiveness of the system and electrification of entire cities and
regions began in the 1890s.

Introduction
Historical development

1879 Dolgeville Dynamo


This power station built at the Dolgeville Mill in Dolgeville, NY supplied power for industrial purposes.
1882 Appleton Wisconsin, US
DC power, 12.5 kW. This was the first Edison hydroelectric station.
1882 Miesbach to Munich, Germany
longest DC transmission to this date: 1400 volts 57 km distance built by Marcel Deprez.
1882: New York City
Edison Illuminating Company builds New York's first power plant at the Pearl Street Station. The DC
station lit up to 400 lights and served 85 customers at first. The plant grew consistently over the next few
years.
1886 Great Barrington, Massachusetts
The first full feature AC power distribution system using transformers is built in the small city of
Great Barrington. It used a Siemens generator and Edison's incandescent lights. 500 volts.
1891 Lauffen-Frankfurt Germany
A MAJOR STEP FORWARD: The first long-distance and 3-phase alternating current demonstration. This
proved that three phase power worked the best for a power grid. This project was developed by Oskar
von Miller and engineered by the founder of 3 phase AC power Mikhail Dolivo-Dobrovolsky.

System development
Frequency

Very early isolated AC generating schemes used arbitrary frequencies based on


convenience for steam engine, water turbine and electrical generator design.

In the early incandescent lighting period, single-phase AC was common and typical
generators were 8-pole machines operated at 2000 RPM, giving a frequency of 133 hertz.

The German company AEG built the first German generating facility to run at 50 Hz. After
observing flicker of lamps operated by the 40 Hz power transmitted by the Lauffen-
Frankfurt link in 1891, AEG raised their standard frequency to 50 Hz in 1891.

Westinghouse Electric decided to standardize on a higher frequency to permit operation of


both electric lighting and induction motors on the same generating system. Although 50 Hz
was suitable for both, in 1890 Westinghouse considered that existing arc-lighting
equipment operated slightly better on 60 Hz, and so that frequency was chosen.

As the 20th century continued, more power was produced at 60 Hz (North America) or
50 Hz (Europe and most of Asia). Standardization allowed international trade in electrical
equipment and much later the interconnection of power grids.
