First in order to calculate the heat content of a particular type of coal, an ultimate analysis must be done. Then the combustion efficiency of the coal must be calculated, the boiler efficiency is then determined by a boiler "acceptance test", or heat balance.
The steam is then run through an engine driving a generator to determine the total plant efficiency thus determining how much coal is burned to produce a set amount of electricity. Several publications on Steam power plant operation explain these efficiency tests in more detail.

Is it true in coal-fired power plants coal is burned to produce steam which is then used to turn a turbine.?
Yes
How long does a coal power plant produce energy?
As long as you keep feeding it coal, and keep it maintained properly and staffed.
What are the energy transformations in a coal fired power station?
Coal is burned to produce heat, which then is transferred to water/steam, which produces mechanical power in the steam turbine, which produces electrical power from the generator
How does China produce most of its electricity?
Coal is the natural resource that enables most of China's power plants.
How does a coal fired power station produce electricity?
A coal fired station burns coal to produce heat. The heat boils water to produce high pressure and temperature steam. The steam expands in a turbine to rotate the shaft. The turbines rotation drives a generator. The generator produces electricity which is sent out to the consumers.
What is coal fired power?
A power plant in which coal is burned to move generating turbines to produce electricity.
Coal is used as fuel to produce what?
in power stations to produce electricity,,,
What is coal fire power plant?
A power plant in which coal is burned to move generating turbines to produce electricity.
How much power does brown coal produce?
2cans haha
What power stations produce CO2?
Coal fired power plants,Petroleum power plants,
How is coal used in a power station?
the coal is crushed first then the coal is passed for burning
What does huntly power station uses to produce electricity?
coal and gas
How are fossil fuels used to produce power?
by being burnt such as coal
What is the use of coal to geothermal power plant?
A geothermal power plant does not use coal to generate energy. Coal would be superfluous.
Is it true in coal-fired power plants coal is burned to produce steam which is then used to turn a turbine.?
Yes
Do you buy power from coal mines?
The coal mines dig up the coal from under the earth. The coal is then sold to whoever wants it. Some industries use coal for power. Coal-fired power stations are a huge buyer of coal. They burn the coal to heat water and use the steam to turn turbines which produce electricity. This electricity is then passed on to Energy Companies who sell the power to us.
How long does a coal power plant produce energy?
As long as you keep feeding it coal, and keep it maintained properly and staffed.
