Summary of this Presentation: Most people consider the East Coast USA as being in the forefront of trail-blazing for electrical engineering and electrical technology developments. But, where were the real electrical engineering problems found? The Inland Empire had some critical problems to be solved that required electrical innovations beyond the scope of the then current technology. Just think of the Navel orange, water supply for irrigation, and railroads for transporting the Navel oranges to willing customers on the East Coast who had the cash to buy such a product, especially in mid-winter. Not surprisingly, the Inland Empire provided the seeds for modern transmission generation design and revolutionized the electric utility industry with two pioneer hydroelectric plants. The San Antonio plant established the commercial feasibility of long distance transmission. The Mill Creek plant introduced three-phase alternating current. In 1888, the Highgrove plant was the first hydroelectric generating station to go into commercial service in California. A number of historical figures, such as Almarion Decker, Cyrus Baldwin, Charles Lloyd, Gustavus Newman, Orville Ensign played important roles in these developments, and are among the true pioneers in our Inland Empire.
