They both use a conventional steam turbine/generator, with a steam circuit that operates on the Rankine cycle (look it up in Wikipedia). This applies particularly to coal fired stations, many natural gas plants now use combustion turbines combined with using the exhaust heat for district heating, but these could be excluded from being 'conventional'.
