    The document provides an overview of thermal power generation from coal. It discusses how thermal power plants convert the chemical energy in fuel into electrical energy through a series of steps. First, combustion of coal in a boiler converts the chemical energy to heat energy. This heat boils water to produce high pressure steam. The steam powers a turbine, converting the heat energy to kinetic energy. The turbine is connected to a generator to produce electrical energy. Finally, the steam is condensed in a condenser to be reused. Coal is an inexpensive fuel source but also highly polluting and carbon intensive. Rising global energy demand continues to increase coal consumption and its related greenhouse gas emissions.

    Energy Conversion
    All power plants convert some form

    energy in to electrical energy. In
    thermal power plant, Water is the
    working fluid. The source of energy
    is Chemical Energy of fuel.
    Sequence of energy conversion is:

    WHY COAL as Fuel

    Coal can provide usable energy at a cost


    of between 12 to 15 % compared to oil and
    natural gas, and coal prices are relatively
    stable.
    Coal is inherently higher-polluting and
    more carbon-intensive than other energy
    alternatives.
    However, coal is so inexpensive that one
    can spend quite a bit on pollution control,
    and still maintain coal’s competitive
    position.
    COAL AND CLIMATE CHANGE FACTS.

    One of the most significant challenges in


    addressing global climate change is reducing
    greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from the use
    of coal.
    Worldwide, coal-fired power generation now accounts for
    roughly 38% of total electricity production & 20 % of
    global GHG emissions.
    Coal use in some of the more developed countries
    remains static or is in decline.
    However, rising energy demand will
    continue to drive up coal consumption, particularly in
    countries with large reserves such as the United States,
    China and India.
