Abstract

When the temperature of a three-way catalyst (15) is in a first temperature range (200-300°C), the air-fuel ratio in the catalyst is enriched (S2, S3) and the ammonia level is detected with a downstream ammonia sensor 20 (S4). The detected ammonia level is compared with threshold #A (S5). When the catalyst temperature is further in a second temperature range (350-400°C), the air-fuel ratio in the catalyst is similarly enriched (S7, S8) and the ammonia level is detected (S9). The detected ammonia level is compared with threshold #B (S10). When the ammonia level under the first temperature range is lower than threshold #A and the ammonia level under the second temperature range is at or higher than threshold #B, it is determined that the catalyst is deteriorated (S11).

Abstract

This charge/discharge control method is for a charge/discharge element (EV1, EV2) and is conducted in every control cycle (ts) from a start time point (t0). The method involves measuring a power consumption amount obtained by integrating the power consumption of the whole group including one or more of the charge/discharge elements (EV1, EV2) from the start time point (t0) to a control time point (t1, t2,...) at which one or more of the control cycles (ts) have elapsed. A target power amount (Ptarget) is obtained by integrating a target power that is predetermined for the whole group, from the start time point (t0) to the control time point. The method involves: determining a command value (Pev(t)) on the basis of an average power amount obtained by dividing, by the control cycle (ts), a differential power amount (ΔE(t)) obtained by subtracting the power consumption amount from the target power amount; and broadcasting the same to the one or more charge/discharge elements (EV1, EV2). Each of the one or more charge/discharge elements that has received the command value (Pev(t)) autonomously controls own charge/discharge power on the basis of the command value (Pev(t)).

Abstract

A method for controlling a hybrid vehicle executes control in which a state of charge of the battery at a time point at which the hybrid vehicle reaches a destination is lower than an upper limit state of charge by executing an EV mode until the hybrid vehicle reaches the destination. During execution of the control, if an estimated value of a lowest temperature of an engine coolant until the hybrid vehicle reaches the destination is equal to or higher than a first threshold value, the EV mode is started when the EV mode is continuable to the destination, and if the estimated value of the lowest temperature is lower than the first threshold value, a section for executing the EV mode is shortened compared to when the estimated value of the lowest temperature is equal to or higher than the first threshold value.

Abstract

According to the present invention: when inputtable power to a battery 2 is set to decrease as the charging rate of the battery 2 approaches a predetermined upper limit and the charging rate of the battery 2 reaches the vicinity of the upper limit due to regenerative power received from a drive motor 1 and generated power received from a generator 4, and the inputtable power becomes less than the sum of the regenerative power and the generated power, the supply of fuel to an engine 3 stops and power generation of the generator 4 is stopped, the power from the battery 2 is supplied to the generator 4, and the engine 3 is subjected to a power operation, whereby the regenerative power is consumed; when the temperature of a catalyst while a power generation request is stopped exceeds a predetermined temperature for inhibiting degradation of the catalyst, the supply of fuel to the engine 3 is continued whereby the output of the engine 3 is maintained; and, thereafter, when the moving average of a current pertaining to said sum exceeds a predetermined standard value, or when the negative electrode potential of the battery 2 becomes less than a predetermined standard potential, the output of the engine 3 is reduced.

Abstract

An aspect of the present invention pertains to an electric vehicle control method for performing attitude control that controls the attitude in the front‐back direction, by adjusting driving force distribution between a front wheel and a rear wheel which are driving wheels. In this control method, the total driving force, which is a required driving force for an electric vehicle, is calculated on the basis of operation of an accelerator pedal. In addition, on the basis of this total driving force, estimated acceleration which is an estimated value for acceleration generated when an electric vehicle is driven with the total driving force, or estimated jerk which is an estimated value for jerk that is the time change rate of acceleration, is calculated. On the basis of the estimated acceleration or the estimated jerk, attitude control execution determination for switching the attitude control on or off is performed.

Abstract

An embodiment of the present invention is an electric vehicle control method for performing posture control for controlling a posture in the front and rear direction by adjusting the drive force allocation of front and rear wheels that are drive wheels. This electric vehicle control method detects a basic posture that is the actual posture in the front and rear direction when an electric vehicle stops. A posture control drive force allocation is also calculated that is the drive force allocation for controlling a posture in the front and rear direction when the electric vehicle is accelerated or decelerated. A corrected drive force allocation is then calculated by correcting the posture control drive force allocation on the basis of the basic posture, and the drive wheels are controlled with this corrected drive force allocation.

In a power system that supplies electric energy to a load group including at least a first power reception element and a second power reception element via a power supply base, the power reception control method and the power reception control device of the present invention control first element reception power that is the power received by the first power reception element. All element signals are obtained that indicate a difference power obtained by subtracting the present value of the total transmission power from the maximum value of the total transmission power to be transmitted to the whole of the load group via the power supply base. When changing second element reception power received by the second power reception element, another element signal corresponding to the second element reception power after being changed is obtained and the difference power is changed. The first element reception power is changed on the basis of the difference power after being changed and the priority of the first power reception element.

Abstract

In the present invention, the oxygen storage capacity of a three-way catalyst (15) is estimated on the basis of an upstream-side exhaust air–fuel ratio (Fr A/F) (S1), and a target air–fuel ratio is controlled so that the estimated oxygen storage capacity matches a prescribed target oxygen storage capacity (S6). If a downstream-side exhaust air–fuel ratio (Rr A/F) detected by a downstream-side air–fuel ratio sensor (20) is equal to or less than a threshold value (RAF1) corresponding to a first oxygen storage capacity (OSA1), the estimated oxygen storage capacity is reset to the value of the first oxygen storage capacity (OSA1) (S2, S3). If the downstream-side exhaust air–fuel ratio (Rr A/F) is equal to or greater than a threshold value (RAF2) corresponding to a second oxygen storage capacity (OSA2), the estimated oxygen storage capacity is reset to the value of the second oxygen storage capacity (OSA2) (S4, S5). The target oxygen storage capacity is set to be closer to the first oxygen storage capacity (OSA1) than the median value of the first oxygen storage capacity (OSA1) and the second oxygen storage capacity (OSA2).
