Meaning
A thermal power station is a place that generates electricity in a process that involves heating water.
About Thermal Power Stations
- There are 6 types of thermal power station:
- All thermal power stations use a similar process to generate electricity.
Energy Transfers
- Energy is transferred to the water by heating.
- The water turns into steam and transfers energy to the turbine mechanically.
- The turbine transfers energy to the generator mechanically.
- The generator then transfers energy electrically along the National Grid.
