The picture below illustrates the progress of producing electricity from coal. All of the stages can be summarized in 5 steps to make the flow chart less complex.
First of all, the coal is transferred to electricity factory. From there, the material will be carried to the power plant and burned in industrial furnaces with the aid of oxygen - which enhances the furnace’s burning point to produce syngas at higher temperature. Following that, purifying step will remove all harmful substances such as Carbon Dioxide, Mercury and Sulfur, etc, left us with purified syngas.
On the next phase, the gas serves as a driving force to the gas turbine, make it spin at high speed and produce electricity, identical to a power generator. In addition, the turbine also discharge a huge amount of hot exhaust gas. Although this might be a consequential side effect to other industries. However, people can take advantage form it. Exhausted gas are piped to a heat recovery steam generator - which converts gases into steam and powers the steam turbine. This second turbine serves as the secondary electricity source. Finally, the electricity once again used to run generators, continue to produce electricity.
To sum up, electricity making process undergoes 5 steps, consists of burning, purifying, generating power using gas turbine, reusing gas that exhausted from previous step. Finally, using gas to power steam turbine to produce electricity
