Power Plant Tour, Sidney, Nebraska

#Powerplant#DieselPower

I get a tour of the Sidney, Nebraska power plant. The power plant was first started in 1906 using a Steam Engine generating DC power. Then it was converted to Diesel and AC generation. The newest Engine is a Nordberg installed in about 1956. They have two Fairbanks Morse, two Nordberg and a Fulton Iron Works engines. The plant is used for emergency power now. They are capable of starting from a complete black out.

Thanks to the City of Sidney, Nebraska, Mike Palmer and Jeff Thompson. The Tour was wonderful and I hope to visit again.

That was a very privileged opportunity to be allowed to conduct a self guided tour through a backup power plant facility such as that.
Thanks for sharing with us.
