Steam turbines and thermal power plants: Relationships
Every element and industry that Steam turbines and thermal power plants is linked to, and how. Each pair has its own card explaining the relationships between the two.
- Thermal coal: Thermal coal is the fuel and steam turbine plants are the machines that turn it into most of India's electricity: at CEA's normative heat rates an older Indian unit burns roughly 0.6 to 0.7 kg of domestic coal per kWh, so coal demand moves with plant load factor, while turbine orders follow state planning rather than coal prices.
