Abstract: A control device of an electric hydraulic excavator sets or computes a rotation speed command and an allowable torque of an electric motor on the basis of a required rotation speed of the electric motor, and a sum of a suppliable electric power of a converter and a battery suppliable electric power. An inverter of the electric hydraulic excavator sets the allowable torque to a torque command if a calculated torque of the electric motor computed by multiplying by a gain, a difference between the rotation speed command and a rotation speed of the electric motor, exceeds the allowable torque, and sets the calculated torque to the torque command if the calculated torque does not exceed the allowable torque. The inverter supplies the electric power that can generate a torque corresponding to the torque command to the electric motor.

Thereby, the performance state recovery part performs the performance state recovery of the electricity storage device.

Abstract: Hybrid construction machinery has a power storage apparatus that can be warmed up quickly and has a lengthened life. The machinery includes an electric motor assisting a prime mover in power and generating electric power. The power storage apparatus transfers electric power to and from the electric motor. A warm-up circuit circulates a warming medium in the vicinity of the power storage apparatus, and a control device controls circulation of the warming medium. On-board equipment state detection units detect on-board equipment states to estimate an output request for the power storage apparatus from the on-board equipment. Circulation of the warming medium is controlled based on a temperature of the power storage apparatus and a determination temperature for determining whether to circulate the warming medium in the warm-up circuit. The control device further varies the determination temperature according to a result of detection by the on-board equipment state detection units.
