A method and system for operating an automotive system with regenerative power is disclosed. The automotive system includes an internal combustion engine including at least one cylinder having exhaust valves. When a deceleration of the vehicle is detected, the exhaust valves are activated to direct compressed air from the cylinder into a high pressure tank fluidically connected to the cylinder.

A method for operating an engine is disclosed. The method may include supplying air from a primary air supply unit to an intake conduit. The method may also include supplying air to the engine from the intake conduit. The method may further include selectively supplying air from a secondary air supply unit to the intake conduit. In addition, the method may include maintaining an air fuel ratio between a first threshold value and a second threshold value during an increase in engine load increase by controlling a supply of air from the secondary supply unit to the intake conduit.

A gas turbine engine includes a compressor for compressing air from an environment; a combustor for receiving the compressed air from the compressor, mixing the compressed air with fuel, and combusting the fuel; a turbine coupled with the compressor for receiving exhaust gas from the combustion and powering the compressor; and an injector coupled with a source of oxidizer for injecting the oxidizer into the combustor. A method for operating a gas turbine engine includes compressing air from an environment; receiving the compressed air at a combustor; mixing the compressed air with fuel; injecting oxidizer into the combustor in addition to the air from the environment; combusting the fuel with the compressed air and the oxidizer; receiving exhaust gas from the combusted fuel; and powering the compression of the air from the environment using the exhaust gas.
