Abstract: This article discusses methods of enhanced power generation using a binary power system with low-boiling fluid as an intermediate energy carrier. The binary power system consists of micro-gas and steam power units and is intended for remote standalone power supply. Trifluotrichloroethane was considered as the working agent of the binary cycle. The developed system was modeled by two parts in MATLAB Simulink and Aspen HYSYS. The model in Aspen HYSYS calculates the energy and material balance of the binary energy system. The model in MATLAB Simulink investigates the operation of power electronics in the energy system for quality power generation. The results of the simulation show that the efficiency of power generation in the range of 100 kW in the developed system with micro-turbine power units reaches 50%.
