Coal-fired Power Station
A coal-fired power station or coal power plant is a thermal power station which burns coal to generate electricity. Worldwide, there are about 8,500 coal-fired power stations totaling over 2,000 gigawatts Nameplate capacity, capacity. They generate about a third of the Electric energy consumption, world's electricity, but cause many illnesses and early deaths, mainly from air pollution. A coal-fired power station is a type of fossil fuel power station. The coal is usually Pulverizer, pulverized and then burned in a pulverized coal-fired boiler. The furnace heat converts boiler water to steam, which is then used to spin turbines that turn electric generator, generators. Thus chemical energy stored in coal is converted successively into thermal energy, mechanical energy and, finally, electrical energy. Coal-fired power stations emit over 10 gigatonne, Gt of carbon dioxide each year, about one fifth of world greenhouse gas emissions, so are the single largest Attribution of re ...

The succeeding Korean Empire (1897–1910) was an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
List Of Coal Power Stations
The following page lists all coal-fired power stations (including lignite-fired) that are or larger current net capacity, which are currently operational or under construction. If a station also has units which do not burn coal, only coal-fired capacity is listed. Those power stations that are smaller than , and those that are only at a planning/proposal stage may be found in regional lists, listed at the end of the page.
