Charge control device controlling discharge of power

摘要

A power unit is equipped with a power generator connected to an electric load, a first storage device connected to the electric load and the power generator, a second storage device connected to the electric load, the power generator, and the first storage device, and a charge control device that controls charge/discharge of the second storage device. The charge control device controls the discharge of the second storage device such that a power is supplied to the electric load and the first storage device when a predetermined condition corresponding to a high possibility of an increase in a power generation amount of the power generator is fulfilled, and controls the discharge of the second storage device such that a power is supplied to the electric load when the predetermined condition is not fulfilled.

主权项

1. A power unit for a vehicle comprising:
a power generator connected to an electric load; a first storage device connected to the electric load and the power generator; a second storage device connected to the electric load, the power generator, and the first storage device; and a charge control device that controls charge/discharge, wherein: when the charge control device determines that the vehicle is decelerating, power is supplied from the power generator to the first storage device and the second storage device; when the charge control device determines that (i) the vehicle is not decelerating and (ii) a storage amount of the second storage device is less than a predetermined storage amount, power is supplied from the power generator and the first storage device to the electric load; and when the charge control device determines that (i) the vehicle is not decelerating, (ii) the storage amount of the second storage device is equal to or larger than the predetermined storage amount, and (iii) a predetermined condition is met that indicates that an increase in a power generation amount of the power generator should occur, power is supplied from the second storage device to both the electric load and the first storage device.
