Hybrid Electric Vehicle and Method of Controlling Same - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18158087 titled 'Hybrid Electric Vehicle and Method of Controlling Same
Simplified Explanation
An embodiment hybrid electric vehicle includes a battery, a bidirectional power conversion device connected to the battery, a battery control unit, an engine control unit, and a motor control unit.
- Battery control unit outputs charge power instruction when battery state of charge (SOC) is at or below a first reference value.
- Engine control unit drives the engine when SOC of the battery is at or below the first reference value.
- Motor control unit charges the battery by driving a motor using power from the engine and the battery based on the charge power instruction.
- Potential applications of this technology:**
- Hybrid electric vehicles - Energy-efficient transportation systems
- Problems solved by this technology:**
- Optimizing battery charging process - Improving overall energy efficiency in hybrid vehicles
- Benefits of this technology:**
- Increased fuel efficiency - Extended battery life - Reduced emissions
Original Abstract Submitted
An embodiment hybrid electric vehicle includes a battery, a bidirectional power conversion device connected to the battery, a battery control unit configured to output a charge power instruction when a state of charge (SOC) of the battery is a first reference value or less by determining the SOC of the battery in a battery power output mode in which power of the battery is output to the outside through the bidirectional power conversion device, an engine control unit configured to drive an engine when the SOC of the battery is the first reference value or less, and a motor control unit configured to, when the charge power instruction is received, drive a motor such that the motor generates electricity using power from the engine and the battery is charged based on the received charge power instruction.
