A thermal power plant is a facility that generates electricity by converting heat energy into electrical energy. This process typically involves burning fossil fuels, such as coal, natural gas, or oil, to produce steam. The steam drives a turbine connected to a generator, which produces electricity. In addition to fossil fuels, some thermal power plants use nuclear energy to heat water and create steam. The efficiency of these plants can vary, but they play a significant role in meeting the energy demands of many countries. Environmental concerns related to emissions from burning fossil fuels are important considerations in their operation.
