The Power Industry Division (also known as POWID) is organized within the Industry and Sciences Department of ISA. POWID is a recognized leader in developing and communicating the highest standards of information exchange, practices, environmental awareness and safety of information exchange among engineers, scientists, technicians, students/universities, and management involved in instrumentation and control relating to the production of electricity.
The primary focal point of POWID is to advance the interests and concerns of its members. POWID promotes a highly professional, responsible image of the Power Industry through its various programs and helps its members to develop that image and to succeed in a highly competitive market.
A POWID membership aligns your personal interests with your professional goals. You have a wealth of industry knowledge at your fingertips, and are on the cutting edge of technology and power developments. In addition, you now have the opportunity to share your experiences as well as the opportunity to learn from your peers.
The ISA Power Industry Division is proud to offer Mr. F. Paul de Mello’s Boiler Dynamics and Controls course notes as a complimentary service to power industry engineers and technicians interested in modeling and control of power plant boilers and components.
