Coal is extracted from the ground through surface mining or underground mining.
Step 2: Preparation
The coal is then cleaned and processed to remove impurities such as ash and sulfur.
Step 3: Combustion
The coal is burned in a boiler to produce heat, which converts water into steam.
Step 4: Steam Turbine
The high-pressure steam is directed through a steam turbine, causing the blades of the turbine to spin.
Step 5: Generator
The spinning turbine shaft is connected to a generator, which converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy.
Step 6: Transmission
The electricity generated is transmitted to homes, businesses, and industries through a network of power lines.
