Coal is a combustible black or brownishblack sedimentary rock, formed as rock strata called coal is mostly carbon with variable amounts of other elements, chiefly hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen. Coal is a type of fossil fuel, formed when dead plant matter decays into peat and is converted into coal by the heat and pressure of deep burial over millions of years.

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Conclusion: Working Principle of Thermal Power Plants. In thermal power plants, the heat energy obtained from the combustion of solid fuel (mostly coal) is used to convert water into steam, this steam is at high pressure and temperature. The turbine shaft, which is connected to the generator, rotates the turbine blades using this steam.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377A thermal power plant is a large facility that converts heat energy into electric power. The heat energy is typically generated by burning fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, or natural gas. The hot combustion gases are used to heat water in a Steam boiler, which produces steam.

When coal is burned, there are tubes of water in the boiler and this water is heated and boils (see image below). When the water boils, it transforms into steam. The steam then turns a turbine attached to a generator and electricity is produced.
