An air compression and expansion system having a combined motor-generator unit and a single drive shaft coupled to compressors and expanders is disclosed. The system includes a motor-generator unit, a drive shaft connected to the motor-generator unit configured to transmit rotational power to and from the motor-generator unit, a compressor system selectively coupleable to the drive shaft and positioned thereabout, and a turbine system selectively coupleable to the drive shaft and positioned thereabout, the turbine system positioned with the compressor system on a common side of the motor-generator unit. The air compression and expansion system also includes a compressor clutch attached to the compressor system and a turbine clutch attached to the turbine system. The compressor clutch and the turbine clutch are arranged coaxially about the drive shaft and configured to selectively couple and decouple the compressor system and the turbine system, respectively, to the drive shaft. |
