The areas of use of low - capacity power plants are very wide: industrial enterprises, medical institutions, residential cottages, business centers and other objects of large cities; main gas pipelines, gas distribution stations, oil pipelines that need energy supply for normal operation; enterprises for processing household waste; developing areas of the country where there are currently no energy sources and power lines; energy-deficient areas of the Far North, Far East, and some Non-Chernozem regions; small towns, cottage settlements and villages, in many of them the issue of centralized heat supply; large livestock farms, enterprises for processing agricultural products, enterprises of the logging industry, etc. In this study, an important problem for oil fields is considered - utilization of associated petroleum gas. Low-power power plants are considered as a combustion engine. It is important to note that high-quality fuel treatment is required for internal combustion engines or gas turbines. The proposed scheme of associated gas utilization based on a small power plant is not fuel-intensive. Studies of compressor and turbine matching are presented, resulting in an optimal range of operating areas. These results allow us to determine the limitations for the operation of the power plant.
