The coal is burned to generate heat.
The heat is used to boil water which creates steam.
The steam is used to turn large turbines.
The rotary motion of the turbines generates electricity.
The voltage of the electricity produced is 'stepped up' by means of a transformer.
The high-voltage is fed to the national grid system for distribution.
The vast majority of power stations produce alternating current (AC) electricity. They may use nuclear, coal, oil, gas, or garbage as fuel, or they may use flowing water or blowing air, but the same kind of electricity is produced, regardless of the fuel used.
In a nuclear power plant, the heat energy released from fission is used to change water into steam. the steam then turns the blades of a turbine to generate electricity.

The difference is in the name; nuclear power plants produce electricity via a nuclear reaction producing head to turn a turbine, whereas coal fired power plants burn coal to produce the same efffect.

Kendal power station in Mpumalanga is not only the largest coal fired power generator in South Africa, it is also the largest in the world. It runs 6 x 686MW units, and has a dry cooling system. It came into operation in 1993.

Coal fired
Ireland's largest power station is the Aghada gas-fired station. It is near Midleton in the east of the county of Cork. It is an electricity generating station, owned by the ESB (Electricity Supply Board), Ireland's main electricity provider.

A coal-fired energy plant is one that burns coal (as the source of energy) to make electricity or drive machinery.
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.
There is no nuclear production in NZ, there is hydro power and some fossil fired power. Electricity in the home is 230v 50 HZ
The coal heats water into steam the steam runs turbines connected to generators.
The Production Budget for Fired Up was $20,000,000.
A gas fired power station burns gas to heat water to generate steam to turn turbines to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity. (That should be a record number of verbs used in one sentence ;-) A coal fired power station burns coal to heat water to generate steam to turn turbines to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity. A nuclear power station uses the heat of nuclear reactions to heat water ... A hydro power station uses falling water to turn turbines to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity. A wind turbine uses the wind to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity.
They could be found in a firepit or fireside. They could also be found in a coal-fired electricity generating station.
