Electricity generation relies on turbine and alternator components. Turbine converts kinetic energy from moving media into mechanical energy. Generator generates alternating current through rotating magnetic field
Thermal power plant converts heat energy into electricity using steam turbines. India's coal reserves account for 5.7% of world's proven reserves. Thermal power sector contributes 66% of India's installed capacity
Thermal power plant generates electricity using coal combustion to produce steam. Steam drives turbines connected to generators, converting thermal to electrical energy. Efficiency ranges from 20% to 26% depending on plant capacity
Uzbekistan's economy grew 7-9% annually during 2004-2008. Country uses 60% more energy per GDP than Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan. Total installed power capacity is 12,400 MW, with 10,000 MW available. Natural gas used for 94% of thermal power generation
Thermal power plants generate 60% of global electricity using various fuels. Boilers convert water into steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity. Plants can be conventional or combined cycle with gas and steam turbines
Thermal power plants generate electricity using heat from fossil fuel combustion. Coal is broken into pieces to heat water in boiler. Steam drives turbines to convert mechanical energy to electricity. Waste heat is released into environment
