To supply small cities with electric and thermal energy it is proposed to create selfcontained energy complex based on gas turbine plants (GTP), wind generators and electric storage cell. A scheme for the joint operation of these plants is offered, a methodology for calculating the quantitative characteristics of a wind power plant, gas turbines and electric storage cell is developed. Electric storage cell provide coverage the peak portion of the daily electrical load curve. The heat load is ensured by the operation of the waste-heat boiler and the peak boiler. Using the example of a power complex with an electric load of 5 MW and a heat load of 17.5 MW, the generation of electric energy by wind driven power plant and gas turbine plants, the supply of electric energy from electric storage cell, the heat loads of the waste-heat boiler and peak boiler by months of the year are calculated. When the power share of the wind power plant is 0.2, the electric storage cell provide for an annual period from 5.2 to 10.7 % of the daily demand of the electric load schedule. The electric power of the gas turbine plant in winter is reduced to 70 % of the maximum load of the consumer, in summer - up to 55 %. An increase in the relative share of the power of a WDPP reduces the electric capacity of a gas turbine plants, its cost, while the cost of electric storage cell increases.
