kendal power station in South Africa
A coal-fired power station uses chemical energy from burning coal to generate electricity. A nuclear power station uses nuclear reactions to generate electricity.
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.
The gas used for burning contains both carbon and hydrogen; coal does not (it consists mainly of carbon).
A coal-fired power station primarily generates thermal energy from burning coal. The heat produced is used to generate steam, which drives turbines to produce electricity.

In a coal-fired power station, coal is burned to produce heat, which is used to create steam. The steam then drives a turbine connected to a generator, producing electricity. The electricity is then sent out for distribution through power lines to homes and businesses.

You mean Kingsnorth in the UK? It is not nuclear, coal is used there.
The coal heats water into steam the steam runs turbines connected to generators.
The nearest power station to Coventry is likely the Radcliffe-on-Soar Power Station located in Nottinghamshire, around 50 miles away. This coal-fired power station is one of the closest large power stations to Coventry.
