In Ukraine, as well as in the global economy as a whole, the issue of energy conservation and reducing the use of fossil natural resources is becoming increasingly acute The constantly growing demand for electricity supply for industrial and household consumers stimulates the development of energy efficient solutions. One of the energy efficient solutions is the use of the exergy of compressed gases and steam, which is lost on reducers and regulators at gas distribution stations ( gas distribution points ( chemical and other energy enterprises, and in the communal and household sectors. Another area of possible application that urgently needs development in modern day Ukraine is the creation of small scale energy complexes for autonomous and individual consumers, i e decentralization of energy supply to increase national security.
