New England Power`s Brayton Point Station in Somerset, Massachusetts is the largest fossil-fueled generating station in New England. The station generates nearly 1,600 MWe in its four steam boilers using coal, oil and natural gas. As part of its compliance strategy with Titles I and IV of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, New England Power retrofit three coal-fired boilers at the Brayton Point Station with low-NO{sub x} burners and gas cofiring technology. Energy Systems Associates (ESA) was contracted by New England Power (NEP), the Gas Research Institute (GRI) and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) to perform a gas cofiring and low NO{sub x} burner deployment project on the units at Brayton Point. This paper describes the results of baseline and post low-NO{sub x} burner retrofit emissions and unit performance measurements as well as the impact of gas cofiring on these parameters. The results of this project should be of interest to coal-fired utilities evaluating low NO{sub x} burner or gas cofiring retrofit technologies for tangential and wall-fired boilers.
