  • Publication number: 20170129348
    Abstract: A charging control method of a vehicle includes setting reserved charging, closing a first switch in an on-board charger (OBC) controller, measuring an input voltage at an input side of the OBC controller when an external charger supplies power when the first switch is closed, setting a charging start time based on the measured input voltage, and starting charging of a battery when the charging start time is reached.

  • Publication number: 20170129360
    Abstract: A vehicle capable of more efficiently performing reserved charging and a charging control method thereof are disclosed. A charging control method of a vehicle including an electric motor and a battery for driving the electric motor includes setting reserved charging, setting a first charging start time on the assumption that an input voltage of an external charger is a first voltage, and starting charging of the battery when the first charging start time is reached. Upon determination that a second voltage which is an actual input voltage of the external charger is different from the first voltage, a second charging start time is set in consideration of the second voltage and estimated input current. Upon determination that the second charging start time is set, the battery is normally charged when the second charging start time is reached.

  • Patent number: 9527503
    Abstract: An active vibration reduction control apparatus and method of a hybrid vehicle are provided to generate a reference signal of a first motor that corresponds a vibration signal extracted from a second motor. An amplitude and phase of the reference signal is adjusted based on frequency characteristic of a drive system transfer function to generate vibration reduction torque of a first motor within the hybrid vehicle. The first motor, a torsional damper, an engine, a connector (a belt-pulley, a chain, a gear, and so on), and the second motor are sequentially connected within the hybrid vehicle.
