A turbo compounding internal combustion engine system includes an internal combustion engine and one or more valves for controlling a flow of an exhaust gas of the internal combustion engine. The system also includes a controller configured to monitor an operation mode of the internal combustion engine and responsively control the one or more valves and a turbine configured to selectively receive the exhaust gas from the internal combustion engine and to convert exhaust energy into a mechanical power. The system further includes a clutched gear drive selectively coupled to the turbine and the internal combustion engine, wherein the clutched gear drive is configured to provide the mechanical power generated by the turbine to the internal combustion engine.
