Answer: thermal energy, mechanical energy and, finally, electrical energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

As a type of thermal power station, a coal-fired power station converts chemical energy stored in coal successively into thermal energy, mechanical energy and, finally, electrical energy. The coal is usually pulverized and then burned in a pulverized coal-fired boiler.
