The video explains the operation of a thermal power station, using the Boundary Dam Power Station as an example. It describes how coal is burned to convert water into steam, which then drives a turbine connected to a generator to produce electricity. The steam is condensed back into water for reuse. Additionally, the video highlights SAS Power's pioneering efforts in carbon capture and storage to mitigate climate change impacts.
