Patent number: 11535106Abstract: A power supply system includes power circuit which connects first and second batteries with a drive motor, and a management ECU which controls transfer of power between the batteries and the drive motor. The management ECU limits the output power of the second battery to no more than a second output upper limit, during combined output travel which drives the drive motor by way of the combined output of the first and second batteries. In addition, the management ECU sets the second output upper limit to a second maximum output of the second battery in the case of the first SOC of the first batter being greater than a remaining amount warning threshold, and sets the second output upper limit to a range extending upper limit which is smaller than the second maximum output, in the case of the first SOC being less than the remaining amount warning threshold.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2021Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Hirokazu Oguma, Yasuo Yamada, Arata Ohishi, Minoru Nagasawa, Yoshihiro Kanamaru, Yoshihisa Kato

Publication number: 20220297571Abstract: A vehicle control device includes processor configured to execute computer-readable instructions to perform. The processor is configured to acquiring a state of a first battery and a state of a second battery, acquiring at least first actual output power of the first battery, calculating a first upper power limit value based on the state of the first battery, calculating a second upper power limit value based on the state of the second battery, and controlling a power conversion process of a power convertor based on the calculated upper power limit values, requested power from a vehicle to be output to a motor, and the first actual output power. The controlling of the power conversion process includes, when output instruction content for iteratively issuing an instruction is determined, calculating the second requested power obtained by correcting currently requested power based on a difference between previously requested power and the first actual output power.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2022Publication date: September 22, 2022Inventors: Hirokazu Oguma, Yasuo Yamada, Arata Ohishi, Minoru Nagasawa, Yoshihiro Kanamaru
