In modern power plants, the fuel (coal, oil, gas) is burned, and the heat boils water. Steam from the boiling water turns a turbine, which turns a generator that produces the electricity.
In one natural gas-fired, jet turbine engine, the jet engine turns the first generator. The hot exhaust passes through a heat exchanger, where it turns water to steam. The expanding steam turns a STEAM turbine, which turns a SECOND generator. The waste steam is used to heat about 40 acres of greenhouses that grow tomatoes.
In everyday coal fired plants, the coal is ground to a powder, and blown into the firebox with powerful fans, where it combusts instantly.

What part of the power station is the fossil fuel burnt in?
The furnace/boiler.
What does a furnace do on a power station?
A furnace on a power station is typically used to generate heat by burning fuel such as coal, natural gas, or oil. This heat is then used to produce steam which drives turbines to generate electricity. Essentially, the furnace plays a key role in the process of converting fuel into electrical energy.
What does a furnace and boiler do in a power station?
A furnace is used in a power station to burn fuel, such as coal or natural gas, to produce heat. This heat is then used to generate steam in a boiler. The steam is used to drive a turbine connected to a generator, producing electricity.

Furnace used in thermal power plant How this furnace works in heating the boiler?
A Furnace works by heating the power plant with the fuel provided you idiot... how else do you think it works??
How does a fossil fuel power station work?
A fossil fuel power station burns coal, oil, or natural gas to produce heat which then converts water into steam. The steam drives a turbine connected to a generator, producing electricity. This electricity is then transmitted through power lines to homes and businesses.
How do I turn the furnace off?
To turn off the furnace, locate the power switch or breaker connected to the furnace and switch it off. This will shut down the furnace and stop it from running.
