Abstract: Direct-current power of a battery is converted to alternating-current power by an inverter to drive a motor generator. A control ECU executes temperature raising control when the battery is at a low temperature. During the temperature raising control, the control ECU superimposes a current ripple for raising the temperature of the battery on a d-axis current command value. A frequency of the current ripple (ripple frequency) varies randomly around a resonance frequency of a battery circuit including the battery. Additionally, a carrier frequency of the inverter varies randomly. As a result, a sound pressure level can be suppressed in regions of the resonance frequency and the carrier frequency during the temperature raising control.

Abstract: The DC power of the battery is converted into AC power by an inverter to drive a motor generator (MG). The control ECU executes the temperature raising control at the time of low temperature of the battery. During the temperature raising control, the control ECU sets the carrier frequency of the inverter to the resonance frequency of the battery circuit including the battery. The frequency of the switching ripple current coincides with the resonance frequency, and the amplitude of the current ripple increases, so that the battery can be efficiently raised in temperature (heated). The sound pressure level increases only in the region of the resonance frequency, and an increase in loudness can be reduced.
