Electricity is a form of energy. Electricity is the flow of electrons. All matter is made up of atoms, and an atom has a center, called a nucleus. The nucleus contains positively charged particles called protons and uncharged particles called neutrons. The nucleus of an atom is surrounded by negatively charged particles called electrons.

Mining coal. Coal miners use large machines to remove coal from the earth. Many coal deposits, called coal beds or seams, are near the earth's surface, but others are deep mining methods allow coal miners to easily reach most of the nation's coal reserves and to produce about three times more coal in one hour than in 1978.

Energy Conversion Process Coal to Electricity The key element of the pulverised fuel system is the coal pulveriser (mill). The purpose of the pulverisers is the comminution (size reduction) of incoming coal from a top size of between typically 50 and 75 mm down to 75 microns (µm). The resulting coal is blown by hot primary air into the ...

The magical science of power plants. A single large power plant can generate enough electricity (about 2 gigawatts, 2,000 megawatts, or 2,000,000,000 watts) to supply a couple of hundred thousand homes, and that's the same amount of power you could make with about 1000 large wind turbines working flat out. But the splendid science behind this amazing trick has less to do with the power plant ...

Step 1: Mining. The first step in the process of generating electricity from coal is to mine it. Coal is typically found in underground mines or in openpit mines. The coal is extracted using large machinery, such as draglines and shovels. Once the coal is mined, it is transported to a power plant via truck, train, or conveyor belt.

Conversion to Electricity. Once the fossil fuels are collected, they are transported to the power plant. The fossil fuels are then burned to heat water. When the fossil fuels' many hydrocarbon bonds are broken, they release large amounts of energy. The steam from the water then increases in pressure, forcing a turbine to spin.
