===Meaning===
A '''thermal power station''' is a place that generates electricity in a process that involves [[heating]] water.
===About Thermal Power Stations===
: There are 6 types of '''thermal power station''':
*[[Coal]]
*[[Crude Oil|Oil]]
*[[Natural Gas|Gas]]
*[[Biofuel]]
*[[Nuclear Fuel|Nuclear]]
*[[Geothermal]]
: All '''thermal power stations''' use a similar process to generate [[electricity]].
===Energy Transfers===
: [[Energy]] is [[Energy Transfer|transferred]] to the [[water]] by [[heating]].
: The [[water]] turns into [[steam]] and [[Energy Transfer|transfers energy]] to the [[turbine]] [[Mechanical Energy Transfer|mechanically]].
: The [[turbine]] [[Energy Transfer|transfers energy]] to the [[generator]] [[Mechanical Energy Transfer|mechanically]].
: The [[generator]] then [[Energy Transfer|transfers energy]] [[Electricity|electrically]] along the [[National Grid]].
