power station which burns a fossil fuel coal to produce electricity. Central station coal power plants are designed on a large scale for continuous operation. In many countries, such plants provide most of the electrical energy used. Coal power stations have machinery to convert the heat energy of combustion into mechanical energy, which then operates an electrical generator.
