It's kind of hard to show a flow chart in WikiAnswers - but we can list the steps:
In a coal-fired power station, a boiler burns coal to produce steam. The steam makes a turbine spin. The turbine drives an electricity generator. The electricity from the generator is converted to a higher voltage by a transformer. This higher voltage is to enable transmission over long power lines without losing too much energy. When it comes to reach our homes, it is then converted back into lower voltage by other transformers. Nuclear power stations are similar - instead of a coal-fired boiler, a nuclear reactor creates the steam. Wind turbines use the blades to turn the generator.
A gas-fired power station has the shortest start up time out of all three fossil fuels
In a modern coal fired power plant the mechanical motion of turbines is transferred by a shaft to a generator, where magnets spin within wire coils to produce electricity
using coal-fired power plants
Several types of power were in use before electricity came to NY State. Examples: Natural Gas, Steam (from coal fired boilers,) Horses/Mules/Oxen, etc.
The coal heats water into steam the steam runs turbines connected to generators.

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.
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.
The electricity is exactly the same as from a fossil fired power station, generated from the same type of generator
A turbine is rotated by steam, this is most commonly used in the process of producing electricity through the method of a coal fired power station.
