Abstract
This research looked at an energy complex comprising numerous functioning circuits that provide electricity to settlements or human living objects. Liquid methane is used as the main fuel. The scheme of this complex consists of the following circuits: the primary circuit (gas piston plant), auxiliary power plant (air separation plant), multistage expansion, and steam power plants using argon and oxygen as working fluids. The energy characteristics of auxiliary steam power plants operating on cryogenic working fluids were calculated, and an indicator of the influence of the parameters of heat exchangers on the temperatures of working substances was discovered.

Keywords: gas piston plant, air separation plant, steam power plant, Rankine cycle, Stirling cycle.
