  • Patent number: 11267454
    Abstract: A control system for a hybrid vehicle that can prevent an overcharging of a battery even if a wheel speed drops abruptly. The hybrid vehicle comprises: an engine; a generator that is driven by the engine; a drive motor that generate a drive torque; and a battery. The electric power generated by the generator is supplied directly to the battery or the drive motor. A controller is configured to determine whether the drive wheel will be locked, and to reduce the electric power generated by the generator less than an acceptable input power to the battery if the drive wheel is expected to be locked.

  • Patent number: 10059209
    Abstract: A converter is capable of using two power sources located on a first side by switching connection of the two power sources between series connection and parallel connection. Under certain conditions, such as when a detected atmospheric pressure is lower than a predetermined value, frequency of use of the two power sources in series connection is reduced in the converter. It is thereby possible to prevent generation of excessive voltage by the power converter.
