A compound turbine is a type of steam turbine that combines two or more stages of turbines to improve efficiency and performance. The primary function of a compound turbine is to extract energy from steam at different pressure levels. In a compound turbine, steam is expanded in multiple stages, which involves having both high-pressure and low-pressure turbines working in conjunction.
