Coal- and oil-fired process Coal- and oil-fired steam power plants have steam turbines to convert the heat energy of combustion into mechanical energy, which then operates an electric generator. All plants use the steam turbine for the drop between the high pressure and temperature of the steam and the lower pressure of condensing vapor.
In a coal based thermal power plant, the initial process in the power generation is "Coal Handling". So in this article i will discuss the overall processes carried out at a Coal Handling plant in a coal based thermal power generating station.
