DESCRIPTION:The Mechanicville Hydroelectric Plant is one of the oldest cont
 inuously operating 3‑phase AC hydroelectric stations in the world\, buil
 t in 1897–1898 and still running much of its original machinery today. M
 echanicville is historically important because it was among the first larg
 e-scale 3‑phase AC hydroelectric plants in the world—technology that m
 ade long‑distance power transmission practical. The plant became a testb
 ed for Charles Steinmetz and other GE pioneers\, who used it for early AC 
 power experiments. In today's world\, the future includes some interesting
  ideas around the future grid possibilities. This will be discussed at the
  lecture. This event is limited to 30 registrants so reply early.\n\nTwo P
 DH Credits will be offered (Optional).\n\nAgenda: \nThe event will begin a
 t 11:00 a.m. and will last approximately two hours\, including a one-hour 
 hydro plant tour followed by a one-hour lecture. Lunch will be provided.\n

 ne of the oldest continuously operating 3‑phase AC hydroelectric station
 s in the world\, built in 1897&ndash\;1898 and still running much of its o
 riginal machinery today. Mechanicville is historically important because i
 t was among the<strong> </strong>first large-scale 3‑phase AC hydroelect
 ric plants in the world&mdash\;technology that made long‑distance power 
 transmission practical. The plant became a<strong> </strong>testbed for Ch
 arles Steinmetz and other GE pioneers\, who used it for early AC power exp
 eriments. In today's world\, the future includes some interesting ideas ar
