abstract: The paper presents a concept of a power generation unit of the engine-generator type, operating in parallel to the mains power supply system in an agricultural farm. Performance characteristics were determined for a type S-4002 engine supplied with a fuel with the provisional name of the „diesohol”, as well as the torque characteristics of an asynchronous generator. Basing on a comparison of the power balance of the engine and the generator, the possible area of cooperation of the two units was presented, as well as the point of cooperation that ensures maintenance of specific fuel consumption at optimum level.
