Hydroelectric Power: How it Works
Jun 06, 2018 · In both cases a power source is used to turn a propellerlike piece called a turbine, which then turns a metal shaft in an electric generator, which is the motor that produces electricity. A coalfired power plant uses steam to turn the turbine blades; whereas a hydroelectric plant uses falling water to turn the turbine. The results are the same.

CoalFired Power Plants
Coal for Electricity Generation In the United States, 52% of the electricity comes from coal generation. A typical coal fired power plant, like the one in this picture, heats water to 540 deg C to produce high pressure steam. To produce 10 9 kWh/year of power, the plant burns 14,000 tons of coal every day.

Coal power: Pollution, politics, and profits | Vision of Earth
The efficiency at which coal can be converted into electricity varies with the thermal efficiency of the plant and the quality of coal used. Using a reasonable set of assumptions, one can state that approximately kilowatthours (kwh) of electricity are generated from the burning of one kilogram of coal.

Supercritical coal plant
Supercritical coal plants are a type of coalfired power plant used in more modern designs. They differ from traditional coal power plants because the water running through it works as a supercritical fluid, meaning it is neither a liquid or a occurs when water reaches its critical point under high pressures and temperatures, specifically at 22 MPa and 374 o C.
