Which converts heat energy into electric power.
How does Thermal Power Plant work?
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.
This steam is used to rotate the turbine blade turbine shaft is connected to the generator. The generator converts the kinetic energy of the turbine impeller into electric energy.
