The power varies, but sizes in the range of 2000 to 3000 megawatt are common.

The electricity energy that is transferred in a TV comes from a power stationwhere is the energy transferred from to make the electricity in the power station?
Depends on what kind of power station it is, can bea nuclear power plant, a coal-burning power plant, a wind turbine, or a hydroelectric power station.
What is coal sed for?
Coal is used for burning to make heat. At home in a fire, at a power station to generate electricity.
What is a coal-fired energy plant?
A coal-fired energy plant is one that burns coal (as the source of energy) to make electricity or drive machinery.
Does a power plant have a nucleus If so what would be some examples?
Are you out of your mind? A power plant generates electricity by spinning an armature in a field. The armature is spun by burning a fuel (Natural Gas, Oil or Coal) to make steam. Or in the case of a Hydro-electric power plant the force of water spins the turbine.
Is burnig a useful chemical reaction?
Burning is a VERY useful chemical reaction. Automobile engines depend of burning- as does the furnace that heats your home, and the oven that bakes your bread, or the power plant that burns oil, coal or natural gas to make electricity.
What type of power plant burns material to make electricity?
Power plants burn fuel by literally burning it with the oxygen in air. The flames heat water, the water turns to steam, and the steam generates electricity in turbines coupled to generators.
What is the efficiency of a fossil fuel power plant?
The efficiency of a coal burning power plant is between 35% and 40%. This means that 40% of the energy is used to make electricity and the other 60% is wasted on heat and pollution through cooling towers and smoke stacks. This is the same efficiency that we had in the 1950s.
How does a coal power plant work?
Coal is burnt to produce heat to make water boil. The steam drives a turbine which turns a generator to make electricity.
What can you do to stop global warming in the simplest terms?
Get your government to make the switch from coal-fired electricity power stations to solar and wind farms. Plant billions of trees all around the world. If we stop burning oil and coal tomorrow, that will stop global warming.
How does a thermal plant work?
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).
How does a coal-fired power plant work?
Coal is burnt to produce heat to make water boil. The steam drives a turbine which turns a generator to make electricity.
What kind energy does a power plant have?
It depends on the type of power plant. Some of the most common is coal (which is used to make steam to create power) one of the least common in the us is nuclear power.
