HOW ELECTRICITY IS PRODUCED AT A COALFIRED POWER
Inside the power station, the coal is pulverised to a fine powder in giant grinding mills This is because pulverised coal burns quickly, like gas The pulverised coal is transported to the boiler furnace with air where it burnsAs a type of thermal power station, a coalfired power station converts chemical energy stored in coal successively into thermal energy, mechanical energy and, finally, electrical energy The coal is usually pulverized and then burned in a pulverized coalfired boiler The heat from the burning pulverized coal converts boiler water to steam, which is then used to spin turbines that turn generators CCoalfired power station
