Turbines at Grand Coulee Dam. ca. 1948, Washington, USA, 312 - INTERIOR OF THE POWER HOUSE, GRAND COULEE DAM, WASHINGTON. The power plant at grand Coulee Dam is the largest in the world, ultimately eighteen turbines of 150, 000 h. p. rated capacity, nine in each of two powerhouses, these driving an equal number of 108, 000 kw. generators, and three 14, 000-h turbines driving 10, 000-kw. generators for a total rated capacity of 2, 742, 000 horsepower in turbines and 1, 974, 000 kilowatts in generators. The large units are to supply power for pumping water for irrigation and will continue to furnish power for transmission to consumers on the Bonneville-Grand Coulee distributing system

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1948, capturing a mesmerizing view of the interior of the power house at Grand Coulee Dam in Washington, USA. The sheer magnitude of this engineering marvel is awe-inspiring - it proudly holds the title of being the largest power plant in the world. The image showcases eighteen turbines with an impressive rated capacity of 150,000 horsepower each. These turbines are divided equally between two powerhouses, driving an equal number of generators that produce a staggering 108,000 kilowatts. In addition to these colossal units, there are also three smaller turbines generating 14,000 horsepower each and powering 10,000-kilowatt generators. With a total rated capacity reaching an astounding figure of 2,742,000 horsepower in turbines and 1,974,000 kilowatts in generators combined; this powerhouse was built not only to supply electricity for transmission but also to pump water for irrigation purposes. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph from UIG (Universal Images Group), we can't help but appreciate the ingenuity and vision behind such a monumental feat. It serves as a testament to human capability and our relentless pursuit of progress.
