INDIAN GEOGRAPHY

Detailed explanation-1: -Thermal power generation consists of using steam power created by burning oil, liquid natural gas (LNG), coal, and other substances to rotate generators and create electricity.

Detailed explanation-2: -Electricity generated with the help of coal is called Thermal Power.

Detailed explanation-3: -Basic Principle. The burning of fuels such as oil, coal and LNG (liquefied natural gas) fires a boiler to generate high-temperature, high-pressure steam. This steam is used to drive a steam turbine. A generator attached to the steam turbine generates electricity.

Detailed explanation-4: -Coal is primarily used as fuel to generate electric power in the United States. In coal-fired power plants, bituminous coal, subbituminous coal, or lignite is burned. The heat produced by the combustion of the coal is used to convert water into high-pressure steam, which drives a turbine, which produces electricity.

Detailed explanation-5: -Thermal power is a powerful station in which heat energy is converted to electric power. In most of the places in the world turbine is stream driven. Water is heated, turns into stream and spins a stream turbine which drives an electric generator.
