Reconstruction of the primary energy spectra is carried out in the framework of the SIBYLL and QGSJET interaction models and the hypothesis of the power-law steepening primary energy spectra. All presented results are derived taking into account the detector response, reconstruction uncertainties of EAS parameters and fluctuation of EAS development.
