Abstract: To date, the production of electric energy using resource-saving technologies is becoming increasingly relevant. One of the ways to save energy resources is the possibility of using the potential energy of overpressure of natural gas in expander-generator sets (EGS) when it is reduced at gas distribution stations (GDS) and gas control points (GCP). EGS allow you to generate electricity, which is generated by a generator installed behind the expander, and in some cases heat and cold. The article discusses promising areas and the main advantages of using EGS. The technological scheme of the expander-generator unit of the block-complete UTDU-4000 design is given, the main elements and the principle of its operation are described. Attention is paid to the issue of environmental and economic benefits from the introduction of expander generators. The use of EGS in gas supply systems makes it possible to reduce energy costs for own needs and improve environmental performance.
