  • Patent number: 9873334
    Abstract: A method and system are provided for variably adjusted voltage of the LDC applied with an IBS (Intelligent Battery Sensor). The LDC output voltage control mode is determined in each of three driving modes, and the high electric loads are separated into two or more groups. The LDC output voltage value and the order priority are differentiated based on the durability of the auxiliary battery. Additionally, an LDC output voltage order table is generated according to the driving mode and the SOC state based on the auxiliary battery SOC information obtained from an IBS. Thus, consumed energy of the LDC and an energy consumption amount of the auxiliary battery are minimized, thus improving fuel efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20170008408
    Abstract: A method for controlling an output of an LDC converter of a vehicle is provided. The LDC charges and discharges an auxiliary battery supplying power to an electronic load using a high voltage battery for driving the vehicle. The method includes predicting a driving event of a front section of the vehicle based on driving route information and a SOC of the auxiliary battery in a driving event before the driving event of the front section of the vehicle. Output voltage of the low voltage DC-DC converter is converted and output to the electronic load or the auxiliary battery based on a comparison result between a current SOC of the auxiliary battery and the predicted SOC of the auxiliary battery. The predicted SOC is determined by a charge time of when a brake or accelerator pedal is engaged before the driving event of the front section of the vehicle.
