1. Northern States Power Co. Black Dog Generating Plant, Burnsville, MI (US)

Northern States Power Co. converted its Black Dog Unit 2, a pulverized coal-fired 100 MW unit that was built in 1954, to an atmospheric fluidized bed (bubbling bed) configuration, in order to commercially demonstrate AFBC technology as a cost-effective way to reduce SO2 emissions. As part of the AFBC conversion, the unit was upgraded to 130 MW capacity. Unit 2 burns Western coal, is equipped with electrostatic precipitators, and cycles on and off line daily. The innovative nature of this project contributed to a protracted encountered. These problems are discussed. Many of the problems have been solved, and the unit is now meeting most of the goals set for the project.
