In a fuel power station what happens?
1. A fuel such as coal, oil or natural gas is burnt and heat is produced to boil the water in the boiler.
Chemical potential energy of the fuel-->Heat energy of the water
2. The heat energy turns water into steam at high pressure, which goes through the boiler and turns the turbines.
Potential energy and kinetic energy of steam-->kinetic energy of the turbines
3. The turbines are connected to a generator, which converts the kinetic energy of the turbine blades into electricity
kinetic energy of turbines-->Electricity
