A thermal power plant is where electricity is produced by steam turning turbines which drive generators.
The steam can come from burning any kind of fuel, namely, fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), or nuclear fusion. It can also come from renewable energy (solar, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass and biofuel).

What is the study of relationships between heat work and thermal energy?
Thermodynamics is the study of the relationship between thermal energy and heat and work.
What is the difference between temperature and thermal eenergy?
Thermal energy can be used to do work. Temperature cannot be used to do work. Thermal energy is actually heat energy in transit.
What is hotwell in thermal power plant?
In a pow4er house steam is expanded in turbine to get work from it . After expansion of steam it is condensed to reuse. The storage tank in which it is stored ,is called hotwell.
What is sustainable energy in a thermal power plant?
"Sustainable" in this context refers to the source of the energy. If the thermal power plant burns petroleum for example, it is not sustainable, since there is a fairly limited supply of petroleum.
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.
How does a reactor work on thermal power plant?
Reactor is used for distilling water in thermal power plants.
Temperature measurement in thermal power plant?
how to measure Temperature in thermal power plant
Does thermal energy run on gasoline?
Gasoline can combusted and given out thermal energy but I suspect the questing ask about thermal energy plant. Thermal energy plant usually referred to Geothermal power plant or Solarthermal power plant. Geothermal plant run on the thermal energy from earth and Solarthermal run on the solar radiation transformed to heat. If the question ask for the latter then no, thermal energy plant doesn't run on gasoline.
When was Taketoyo Thermal Power Plant created?
Taketoyo Thermal Power Plant was created in 1966.
What is the example of thermal power plant?
A good example of a thermal power plant is run that is coal fired.
What is the reason for the location of major thermal power plant?
because most of the thermal power plant requires a lot of water
What is pithead power plant?
It is type of thermal power plant
