1-2 The coal from stock yard is conveyed to the coal bunker. |
3 The coal from the bunker is sent to coal pulverizer, which crushes the coal into fine powder and send it to the furnace of the boiler. |
4 The fine powder burns inside the boiler furnace and generates heat, it heats up the water and generates steam, which flows into the turbine. |
5 Driven by incoming steam, the turbine rotates at a high speed, causing the generator to start producing electric current. |
6 Steam extracted / exhaust steam from the turbine supply heat to local industrial plants and/or district heating. |
7 Steam extracted from turbine provides energy to cooling station to produce chilled water, for cooling local community / business district. |
9-11 Some steam which passes through the turbine will flow to the condenser, the condensate will be brought back to the boiler for recycling. |
