What is thermal power?
A thermal power station is a power station in which heat energy is converted to electric power. In most, a steam-driven turbine converts heat to mechanical power as an intermediate to electrical power. Water is heated, turns into steam and drives a steam turbine which drives an electrical generator.
Thermal power plants make electricity by using fossil fuels. Coal, gas and oil are the most common fuels used. They are used to generate steam in a boiler and turbo generators are run by this steam.
