1. A combined power system comprising:
a rotary electric machine system including a rotary electric machine, and a rotary electric machine housing in which a rotating shaft of the rotary electric machine is rotatably supported; and
a gas turbine engine including an output shaft configured to rotate integrally with the rotating shaft,
the combined power system further comprising a terminal casing disposed on an outer side wall of the rotary electric machine housing and in which electric terminal portions are accommodated, the electric terminal portions being configured to transmit and receive electrical power between the rotary electric machine and an external device,
wherein a cooling jacket and a compressed air flow passage are formed for the rotary electric machine housing, the cooling jacket surrounding an outer circumferential side of the rotary electric machine, and the compressed air flow passage being disposed on an outer circumferential side of the cooling jacket and through which compressed air flows, and
an electrical current converter is provided on the outer circumferential wall of the rotary electric machine housing at a location closer to the gas turbine engine than the terminal casing is, the electrical current converter being configured to convert an alternating current generated by the rotary electric machine into a direct current, or convert a supplied direct current into an alternating current, or lower or raise a voltage of an electrical current.
