The invention discloses a coal-fired power generation system in a thermal power plant, comprising: a water supply tank, a heating water tank, a high-pressure water tank, a boiler, a power storage and power supply system, an ionization chamber, a piston arranged in the ionization chamber, and a power drive connected to the piston An output mechanism, a generator connected to the power output mechanism, a water spray system for spraying the water in the water tank into the ionization chamber, and a water spray system for controlling the storage power supply system and the water spray system The controller; the two ionization chambers are all arranged in the high-pressure water tank, the upper end of the high-pressure water tank is provided with a first high-pressure cylinder, and the two ionization chambers are respectively connected to the first high-pressure air pipe through the second high-pressure air pipe. The cylinders are connected, and the high-pressure and high-temperature ionized gas in the two ionization chambers can provide pressure to the high-pressure water tank through the first high-pressure cylinder. With such arrangement, the coal-fired power generation system of the thermal power plant provided by the present invention has the advantages of energy saving, environmental protection and effective improvement of energy utilization rate.
