A fossil fuel power station is a thermal power station which burns a fossil fuel, such as coal or natural gas, to produce electricity. Fossil fuel power stations have machinery to convert the heat energy of combustion into mechanical energy, which then operates an electrical generator.

Generating electricity since 1972, Fawley was an oil fired power station on the western shore of Southampton Water in Hampshire. Commissioned by the CEGB, Fawley was built by Mitchell Construction, comprising 4 sets of 500MW Parsons generating units, totalling 2GW capacity.Two units were mothballed in 1995, leaving 1GW capacity remaining.

The decline of coal and oil fired power stations in the UK. Ever since Thomas Edison opened the UK's first power station in 1882 coal has been the mainstay fuel of electricity generation.

Aberthaw Power Station is a series of two coal-fired power stations on the coast of South Wales, near Barry in the Vale of Glamorgan.It is located at Limpert Bay, near the villages of Gileston and West Aberthaw.The current power station on the site, Aberthaw B Power Station, co-fires biomass and as of 2008 has a generating capacity of 1,560 megawatts (MW).

boiler with a capacity of 1000 MW was brought into operation. Boilers in Japan thus have been undergoing rapid increases in capacity. After 1980, boilers with a unit capacity of more than 600 MW went mainstream, Abstract In a thermal power plant, the boiler feed pump (BFP) is one of the critical auxiliary machines that are equivalent to the heart

The first part of the conversion is efficiency of the boiler and combustion. For this example we take 88 % on an HHV basis that is the normal range for a well-optimized power plant. Second part is the steam cycle efficiency. Modern Rankine cycle, adopted in coal fired power plants, have efficiencies that vary from 32 % to 42 %.
