Since my last Director s Message, your POWID Executive Committee (EXCOM) has met during our 17th Annual ISA POWID/EPRI Controls and Instrumentation Conference (50th POWID Symposium), and the Director and Director-Elect participated in the ISA Summer Leadership Meeting in Scottsdale, AZ. I will summarize some of the activities and awards of our Division, but I also urge you to read the meeting minutes and visit the POWID Division Website for current information. Our 17th Annual Joint ISA POWID/EPRI Controls and Instrumentation Conference (50th Anniversary ISA POWID Symposium) was held on June 2007, at the Sheraton Station Square Hotel, Pittsburgh, PA. I would like to congratulate Mike Skoncey (General Chair), Allan Zadiraka (ISA Co- Program Chair), and Aaron Hussey (EPRI Co-Program Chair) for putting together an outstanding program, which included over 230 attendees from 14 different countries, and a new record of 28 venders showcasing their products. The conference started off with two excellent guess speakers: Jeff Kupfer (Chief of Staff of the US Department of Energy) and Steve Huffman (President of ISA), followed by nine paper sessions with 43 papers presented. POWID held its annual Honor & Award Luncheon on Monday to recognize several individuals and one organization for their contributions to our industry. I am pleased to announce the 2007 award winners (see table). Further details of the awards and award winners bio information are available inside this newsletter. Again, on behalf of the EXCOM Committee, I would like to congratulate the 2007 Power Industry Division Award winners. Power Industry Division 2007 Awards Achievement Award Outstanding Service Award Facility Award Recipient Dr. Robert Smoak Roger Hull Dan Antonellis Lower Colorado River Authority, Sim Gideon Plant 2006 Best Paper Award The Application of NERC s Top 10 Vulnerabilities of Control Systems and Their Associated Mitigations to Power Plants, by Robert C. Webb and Joseph Weiss After the conference, Members were able to participate in a number of Power Industry related activities. The S67 and S77 standards committees and associated sub-committees met to work on reaffirming existing standards or to write new standards (see S77 meeting minutes). Controls and Instrumentation Workshops were held by EPRI (annual) and DOE (first) to discuss current activities and future industry needs. On Thursday and Friday, ISA and non-isa training courses were held for attendees interested in furthering their education. To mark its 50th anniversary, the symposium included an Anniversary & Spouses Dinner featuring entertainment by the Van-Dells.

All attendees went home with a commemorative keepsake gift and memories of seeing old friends and meeting new ones. The POWID Executive Committee would like to thank our corporate sponsors: Emerson, Invensys, ABB, and Power Magazine (See Sponsor List), for their support in making the 2007 conference a success. Please mark you calendars and plan continued on page 2

2 Director s Message, continued from page 1 Gordon McFarland (POWID Fall Coordinator) has put together three technical sessions with Power Industry related papers. I urge POWID Members to attend the Fall ISA Expo held 1 5 October in Houston, TX. to attend the 2008 Conference in Scottsdale, AZ. Dennis Younie (General Chair), Don Labbe (ISA Co-Program Chair), and Aaron Hussey (EPRI Co-Program Chair) are planning another exciting conference (see Call for Papers). The ISA Summer Leadership Meeting was held on June in Scottsdale, AZ at the Hilton Hotel. The Hilton hotel is the same location that POWID will be holding our 2008 conference, and I can personally report that this hotel is an excellent facility to hold our conference. During the ISA Summer Leadership Meeting, Cyrus Taft (Director-elect) and I attended the A&T and I&S Advisory Meeting, Department Workshop, and Department Meeting. As Director, I reported on the many activities and current issues related to POWID. The 2008 Business Plan, 2008 Symposium Budget, and 2008 Division Budget all have been submitted for Department approvals. During the ISA Summer Leadership meeting, the ISA Honor and Award Committee met and voted on the Power Industry Division, 2007 Outstanding Division. This is the 10th consecutive year POWID has received this award and I would like to thank all Executive Committee Members and POWID Members for their support and contribution over the past year. In recognition of one Executive Committee Member and the associated service provided to Members, please read the spotlight article by Tom Stevenson on Professional Development role and duties. I am please to report that the ISA Honor and Award Committee approved the nomination of Dale Evely (Southern Company Service Inc.) and Allan Zadiraka (The Babcock & Wilcox Co.) as ISA Fellow Members. Fellow Membership is a distinguished award given to individuals who have made significant contributions to the Control and Instrumentation field. On behalf of all POWID Members, I would like to congratulate Dale and Allan on their awards. The ISA Society awards will be presented in October during the Honor & Award Dinner in conjunction with the Fall ISA Expo. Some key topics from our last Executive Committee Meeting include: Per the request of our Members, the Executive Committee has agreed to provide advertisement in our What's Watt Newsletter. POWID has prepared a cover letter and order form, for which clients can send in their advertisement art and fees. Please check the advertisement notice within this newsletter or on the POWID Website. Cyrus Taft has completed the bi-annual update of the Power Industry Manual of Operating Practices (MOP). The updated MOP will be available on the POWID Website.

3 Summary of the 2007 POWID/EPRI Conference in Pittsburgh By Mike Skoncey, 2007 POWID General Chair Feedback from attendees was positive in regards to both the technical program and entertainment. The attendance was over 225 with many bringing their spouses to join in the activities. Some spouses joined my daughter in sightseeing around the Pittsburgh area. She really enjoyed their company and showing them our city. We had four sponsors and twenty-four vendors displaying their latest technologies. We (Conference Committee) thank them for their support in helping to keep costs down for our Membership. Although we offered twelve different training classes, we only had five classes where the attendance was high enough to warrant the class. I personally was surprised that no one was interested in the valve classes that were offered. The attendees missed out on some wellrounded classes. These Equipment and Control Inc. classes are well attended by local engineers and technicians. The entertainment was excellent as promised, and those who attended the functions really had a good time. In closing I would like to add a few pictures of your Executive Committee and some of the many pictures taken showing us being teenagers again and having some fun. Thanks for the opportunity of being your Conference Chairman. Conference Sponsors On behalf of the 2007 ISA POWID / EPRI Conference Committee and the entire POWID Executive Committee, please accept our sincere gratitude for your conference sponsorship. POWID Professional Development Chairman Description of Duties and History I began my association with ISA in 1986 when, as a newly promoted I&C engineering supervisor, I was urged to join and attend a POWID Conference by Past POWID President, Richard Perry, who introduced me to the Executive Committee. Since then, I have served as Session Developer, Honors and Awards Chairman, Baltimore Section President, Certification Board Member, and Professional Development Chairman. It has been an honor to work with the other Executive Committee and ISA Members, and I have certainly gained more than I have been able to give back. Over the past seven years, POWID has been offering certificates of attendance at each conference presentation session for the purpose of documenting continuing professional competency credits or PDHs. The PDH certificates were developed to assist Members to demonstrate their continuing level of competency as professional engineers and certified technicians. A Professional Development Hour (PDH) is a contact hour (nominal) of instruction or presentation, whereas a Continuing Education Unit (CEU) is a Unit of credit customarily used for a continuing education course, and provided through a licensed associate of the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET). ISA offers CEUs for their standard training courses with one CEU typically equaling 10 PDHs. POWID has been averaging about 750 PDHs awarded at each conference. 3

4 POWID 2007 Honor and Awards Each year, the POWID Division of ISA honors its Members with the following awards: The Achievement Award is for the purpose of recognizing individuals whose efforts have advanced the generation of electrical power. These efforts are exemplified through the individual s outstanding achievements, original design application, or special contributions toward the development of engineering concepts in the field of instrumentation and controls within the Power Industry.

The plant is a three unit gas fired plant: 2x150 MW-1960 vintage units and a 350 MW-1970 vintage unit. The plant was innovative thru a combination of hardware, a digital control system, advanced control schemes, and wireless technologies to prevent the decommissioning of the two older plants and play an active role in the highly profitable ancillary services market. Some of the improvements include: combined hardware and control modifications helped the two older units to meet NOx requirements in a cost effective manner; a higher ramp rate enabled the units to be dispatched in a very profitable domain of ancillary services; advanced control strategies provided closed loop protection of primary equipment during ramping; a onebutton startup improved turbine startup times with less stress on the units; and a wireless system increased operations, maintenance and engineering productivity through streamlined communications & WiFi access. Three papers have been presented on the plant improvements at POWID Conferences. We congratulate the Sim Gideon Plant on its accomplishments.

Jim Olson moved that the minutes be approved and Bob Hubby seconded the motion. The minutes were approved by voice vote. 5. Director Staff Reports a) Division Report Director Lee reported on the following; a1) Annual Report Dan submitted the Division 2006 Annual Report to ISA on 28 February A copy was circulated at the meeting for Committee Members information. It is also available on the POWID Website. a2) Summer Leaders Meeting Dan Lee and Cyrus Taft will be attending the ISA Summer Leaders Meeting in Phoenix on June. Dan asked for comments or issues to raise at the meeting. a3) Division Spotlight ISA sent out two Division Spotlight e mail blasts on 21 February and 17 May. Dan asked for a show of hands from those that received the e mail. Only Allan Zadiraka thought he remembered receiving it. Dan did not remember getting it either and did some research to find out why. It turned out that the e mail was sent out under the Product category in ISA s e mail system and many Members have their privacy options set to disable all Product e mails. Dan s was set this way so he changed the setting as a test and was promptly swamped with Product e mails from ISA. He changed his setting back to disable product messages. This is a major problem that needs to be corrected by ISA if the Division Spotlight messages are to be useful. continued on page 40 39
