A turbo compound engine is provided with a rotor which is connected to the engine's output shaft so as to deliver working medium, such as intake air or exhaust gas or a mixture of the two, and a bypass line that bypasses the rotor, so that it not only utilizes the compression work and delivery work the rotor performs for a part of the braking force in the event of engine braking, but also attains a rapid and smooth increase in engine power output by allowing the working medium to bypass the rotor for a while when the engine operation mode is shifted from rotor-assisted engine brake mode to rotor-assisted engine drive mode for acceleration.
