Explain all the processes in the production of electricity in Thermal power plants?

Question

Accepted Answer

Thermal power plants generate electricity through the combustion of fossil fuels.

Fuel combustion: Fossil fuels like coal, oil, or natural gas are burned to produce heat.
Boiler: The heat generated from fuel combustion is used to convert water into steam.
Steam turbine: The high-pressure steam drives the turbine, converting thermal energy into mechanical energy.
Generator: The turbine's mechanical energy is used to rotate a generator, producing electrical energy.
Condenser: The steam is condensed back into water using cooling water from a nearby source.
Cooling tower: The excess heat is dissipated through the cooling tower.
Transformers: The generated electricity is stepped up to high voltage for efficient transmission.
Grid connection: The electricity is transmitted through power lines to reach consumers.

Accepted Answer

The burning of fuels such as oil, coal and LNG (liquefied natural gas) fires a boiler to generate high-temperature, high-pressure steam
