An electric-power generating apparatus is designed for an automotive vehicle with a hybrid drive including a prime mover. The apparatus includes an electric device which operates as either a generator or a motor. The electric device is connected with the prime mover for transmitting and receiving torque thereto and therefrom. A control unit operates for, in cases where the electric device is required to operate as the generator, alternately setting a power-generation execution term and a power-generation suspension term and thereby controlling the electric device to intermittently operate as the generator so as to substantially equalize a mean quantity of actual power generation to a required power generation quantity. During the power-generation execution term, the electric device operates as the generator and provides a power generation quantity greater than the mean quantity. During the power-generation suspension term, operation of the electric device as the generator is suspended. <IMAGE> |
