Pingshan Power Station
The Pingshan power station is a large modern coal-fired power station in China. The power station is divided into two phases with phase one consisting of two 660 MW units, each with scrubbing systems and cooling towers. Phase two has one ultra-supercritical secondary reheat unit with a 1350 MW capacity. This unit is one of the single largest coal units in the world; it also has the world's largest cooling tower with a height of 210 m (689 ft). The engineering and design works for the power station were completed by East China Institute of Energy. The Phase 2 unit has a coal consumption rate of 251g/kWh.

Coal-fired Power Station
A coal-fired power station or coal power plant is a thermal power station which burns coal to generate electricity. Worldwide there are about 2,500 coal-fired power stations, on average capable of generating a gigawatt each. They generate about a third of the world's electricity, but cause many illnesses and the most early deaths per unit of energy produced, mainly from air pollution. World installed capacity doubled from 2000 to 2023 and increased 2% in 2023. A coal-fired power station is a type of fossil fuel power station. The coal is usually pulverized and then burned in a pulverized coal-fired boiler. The furnace heat converts boiler water to steam, which is then used to spin turbines that turn generators. Thus chemical energy stored in coal is converted successively into thermal energy, mechanical energy and, finally, electrical energy. Coal-fired power stations are the largest single contributor to climate change, releasing approximately 12 billion tonnes of ...
