Electricity-

To use the most green effiecient materials in our stadium, we can use 2 types of ways to generate electricity. These ways are Cogeneration and Steam Turbines. Cogenerationnis also called distributed energy resources. Instead of burning fuel to merely heat space or water, some of the energy is converted to electricity in addition to heat. that is how that works.

You can also use the Steam Turbines.Topping cycle plants primarily produce electricity from a steam turbine. The exhausted steam is then condensed, and the low temperature heat released from this condensation is utilized for e.g. district heatingbottoming cycle plants produce high temperature heat for industrial processes, then a waste heat recovery boiler feeds an electrical plant. Bottoming cycle plants are only used when the industrial process requires very high temperatures, such as furnaces for glass and metal manufacturing, so they are less common. Large cogeneration systems provide heating water and power for an industrial site or an entire town.

Common CHP plant types are:GasTurbine CHP plants using the waste heat in the flue gas of gas turbines Combined cycle power plants adapted for CHP Steam turbine CHP plants that use the heating system as the Steam condenser for the steam turbine. Molten Carbonate cells have a hot exhaust, very suitable for heating. Smaller cogeneration units may use a reciprocatingengine. The heat is removed from the exhaust and the radiator. These systems are popular in small sizes because small gas and diesel engines are less expensive than small gas- or oil-fired steam-electric plants
