 Thermal power station

Thermal power stations produce electricity by burning fuel in a

boiler to heat water to produce steam. The steam, at tremendous
pressure, flows into a turbine, which spins a generator to produce
electricity. The steam is cooled, condensed back into water, and
returned to the boiler to start the process over.
