About Thermal

PES in Thermal

Thermal power plants are similar to hydro electric power plants in operation. However, instead of using force of water to generate electricity, thermal plants produce steam by burning coal, oil or natural gas or other such high calorific material as fuel, to boil water and produce steam to turn the turbine propeller.


Thermal power plants normally consist of a coal conveyer, stoker, pulveriser, boiler, electrostatic precipitator, smokestack, turbine, condenser, transformer, cooling towers, generator and power lines.
