A joule is a watt-second. (To compare, a kilowatt-hour is 3.6 million joules.)

If a typical power plant produces 1,000 megawatts, it is producing 1,000 megajoules per second.

It obviously varies and also depends on how many units are built on one site. For nuclear plants in the past it has been about 1000 MW electrical per unit, and you can multiply that by three to get the reactor thermal output. New units may be up to 50 percent larger, ie 1500 MW electrical. (That is, for future build)

What does a thermal power plant do that a coal power plant doesn't?

In a thermal power plant, the conversion of thermal heat into rotational energy is achieved. This can be achieved by using the thermal heat from burning coal or from burning oil or from burning gas or from steam generated by solar means (insolation). In a coal power plant the thermal heat obtained from burning coal is converted into rotational energy, which drives the generator and eventually, electrical power is generated.


What is the reason o being thermal power plant in bhathinda delhi tanda dadri and vijayawada?

The reason there are thermal power plants in Bhathinda, Delhi, Tanda, Dadri, and Vijayawada is the close proximity to this type of renewable energy. Another reason this was done is to reduce the amount of pollution generated in the area.

How efficient are conventional power plants?

Efficiency of power plants is usually measured as a ratio of the total amount of electrical power produced divided by the total amount of heat generated, expressed as a percentage. Thus, if a power plant produces 100 MWh thermal, and this is converted to 38 MWh of electricity, the plant is 38% efficient. Most power plants are 35% to 40% efficient. This is true for nuclear as well as fossil fuel plants. Some plants are much more efficient. A natural gas plant, used in a situation with cogeneration, can be as much as 65% efficient. The lost heat is put into the environment and is referred to as thermal pollution.
