Current requirements are considered for an autonomous source of power supply for powering a consumer located in areas remote from a centralized power system in comparison with the method of connecting to a centralized power system, using a petrol, diesel and power plant using a Stirling engine with external heat supply in this article. The main aspects are identified power plants with external heat supply, analysed materials that support combustion, which can be used to operate an autonomous generator. The history is described and the purpose of the rotary engine of the Russian engineer N.N. Tverskoy. An economic assessment and engine performance have been considered, in which superheated steam is not required to be used, but steam with droplets of liquid for use is permissible. The design proposed rotary vane engine N.N. Tverskoy with a built-in electric generator, in which the expansion part (turbine) and the generator represent a single joint part. The design methodology is considered, in which the main sections on the calculations and design of the rotary machine with the main empirical formulas are highlighted. Further ways of using the engine are described in the low-grade heat recovery system.
