1. A combined power system that includes a rotary electric machine system and an internal combustion engine, the rotary electric machine system including a rotary electric machine and a rotary electric machine housing configured to rotatably support a rotating shaft of the rotary electric machine, the internal combustion engine including an output shaft configured to rotate integrally with the rotating shaft, the combined power system comprising:
a compressor wheel provided for the output shaft and configured to obtain compressed air by compressing outside air;
a shroud case surrounding the compressor wheel;
a turbine wheel provided for the output shaft;
a diffuser configured to diffuse the compressed air that has passed between the compressor wheel and the shroud case; and
an engine housing surrounding the shroud case, the diffuser, and the compressor wheel,
wherein an air bleed port is formed in the shroud case in order to extract the compressed air to outside of the shroud case,
a plurality of air bleed passages are formed in the engine housing, and the compressed air extracted from the air bleed port flows through the air bleed passages,
an annular chamber is formed between the air bleed port and the plurality of air bleed passages, and is configured to store the compressed air, the engine housing includes a housing body and a plurality of leg members interposed between the housing body and the rotary electric machine housing, the housing body being configured to accommodate the shroud case, the diffuser, and the compressor wheel,
an air intake space is formed so as to be surrounded by the plurality of leg members, and a part of the shroud case is exposed to the air intake space, and
each of the plurality of air bleed passages is formed individually in each of the plurality of leg members.
