Colocated User Group Meetings
For optimal convenience, the PRB Coal Users’ Group and the Combined Cycle Users’ Group will again be holding their annual meetings at the same time and location as ELECTRIC POWER.
PRB Coal Users’ Group. The PRB Coal Users’ Group (www.prbcoals.com) conducts preconference workshops on May 11 and a full slate of conference sessions from May 12 through 14. The interactive dialog provides valuable information to those currently using (or planning to use) this desirable but potentially dangerous fuel. The second day of the conference features three breakout sessions covering coal handling, boiler and combustion and safety, and fire and risk management. The conference includes many case studies that allow issues to be discussed candidly.
Combined Cycle Users’ Group. The Combined Cycle Users’ Group (www.combinedcycleusers.org) Annual Meeting addresses issues concerning the interactions among all major components of the combined-cycle power plant — the gas turbine, HRSG, and steam turbine. These issues are critical at a time when many plants must operate on razor-thin margins and in modes for which their units were not designed. Sessions cover everything from fuel quality to staffing.
52nd Annual ISA POWID Symposium and 19th ISA POWID/EPRI Controls & Instrumentation Conference. For more than half a century, the Power Industry Division (POWID) of the Instrument Society of America (ISA) has presented its annual conference to review advances in power generation instrumentation, controls, and automation. The sessions cover both nuclear and fossil applications as well as training and standards committee meetings. This year’s conference topics will range from online optimization controls to critical infrastructure protection.

Power Plant Awards Banquet
The Power Plant Awards Banquet gives industry recognition to key technologies and developments for power generation plants. POWER magazine’s Plant of the Year and Marmaduke award winners, as well as the PRB Coal Users’ Group Plant of the Year recipient and PRB Coal Users’ Group student scholarship recipients, are recognized during this must-attend industry gathering.
The featured speaker this year will be Dave Dravecky — Major League Baseball pitcher, author, and cancer survivor.
