Chemical energy is released when the coal burns with oxygen in the air. This energy is used to heat water, which is converted into steam. Not all of the energy is used to heat the water. Some of it is wasted by being transferred as heat to the surroundings. The energy of the steam is used to turn the turbines, but some of the steam energy is wasted.

How much energy input is wasted at the power stations?
2/3 of energy input is wasted at the power station.
What happens when energy transformations occur in a coal fired power plant during the production of electricity?
nothing
Why is a machine not 100 percent efficient?
Some energy (or power) is usually wasted. It is often possible to take measures to reduce it, but this can't be completely eliminated.Some energy (or power) is usually wasted.

What is term power?
In physics, power = energy / time. It may refer to the rate at which energy is produced (from other energy; you can't create energy out of sheer nothingness), wasted, or transferred.
