From what I've been reading about turbo compounding, the power from the exhaust turbine is about 10% of the engine's power. To use this with an alternator, I think you would have to add an electric motor to help power the wheels. The battery wouldn't be able to absorb the amount of power coming from the alternator connected to the exhaust turbine.
