I'm trying to create a new generator that burns any solid fuel/coal/wood item to directly generate electricity. Is there a way to create a new type/edit an existing type, or do I have to get creative with control.lua?

Short: you'll have to get creative.
Long: The types are 'hardcoded' in C++ and you'd need access to the source to add/modify any (if you have C++ experience you could contact the devs and ask for access, though afaik access is not guaranteed)
