Power Generation is the core process of converting thermal energy into electrical energy through a steam-driven power generation system. In a Coal-Fired Power Plant (PLTU), coal is burned in a boiler to produce high-pressure, high-temperature steam. The steam drives a steam turbine connected to a generator, which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
The power generation process involves the coordinated operation of the boiler, steam turbine, generator, condenser, feedwater system, and associated auxiliary equipment. Reliable operation, preventive maintenance, and continuous performance monitoring are essential to ensure safe, efficient, and stable electricity production.
