FIELD: heat power engineering.
SUBSTANCE: invention can be used for special purpose objects, such as fortifications, submerged objects and mobile complexes. Heat accumulator is charged by energy supplied through heater to heat-accumulating substance. After charging, at self-contained operation, heat released by heat-accumulating substance is conveyed through walls of heat accumulator to walls of Stirling engine heater which provides starting and operation of Stirling engine. With engine operating, mechanical energy is converted into electric energy by electric generator. Cooler is used for cooling Stirling engine by cooling medium circulating through cooler.
EFFECT: improved reliability, simplified design, reduced mass and dimensional characteristics of power plant.
