PPCUG – Power Plant Controls Users Group

The Power Plant Controls Users Group is being formed in 2018. The Power Users Group leadership team recognized that controls is not a very well covered topic in conference. It has always been a short session or breakout where most of the audience are not fully engaged. There are those few who seems to want more, thus the reason the group is being formed.

As a starting point, the group will be technology and OEM agnostic and will cover all topics related to controls, hardware, software, instrumentation, cyber security, digital transformation.

A steering committee has been formed to organize a conference focus on controls. Hope to see you all there.
