Device and method for controlling power according to a load of a hybrid excavator

摘要

A power control apparatus and method according to a load of a hybrid excavator including an H-ECU is disclosed. If a difference between an actual power value actually used in a load (SW PEC and ISAM PEC) or in an ESS and a power value required for an actual use in the load is equal to or larger than a set error value, a power that is supplied from the ESS to the PECs and a power that is supplied between the PECs are controlled to be cut off, and thus high voltage is prevented from being continuously supplied to circuits to thereby prevent secondary problems (e.g., fire, trouble of equipment, and the like) from occurring due to the high voltage.

主权项

1. A power control apparatus according to a load of a hybrid excavator, comprising:
an ESS (Energy Storage System); a SW PEC (Swing Motor Power Electric Controller) and an ISAM PEC (Integrated Starter & Alternator Motor Power Electric Controller) connected to the ESS; and a H-ECU (H-Electronic Control Unit) comparing an actual power value (P3), which is obtained by adding a power value (P1) calculated by a voltage or current value input to or output from the SW PEC to a power value (P2) calculated by a voltage or current value input to or output from the ISAM PEC, with a power value required for a load (P4) that is a function of an operation amount of a RCV lever and an engine RPM value, determining there is abnormality in the case where a difference between the two power values exceeds a set error range, and operating to cut off a power supplied from the ESS to the PECs and a power supplied between the PECs, or comparing a power value (P5) calculated by a voltage or current value input to or output from the ESS with the power value (P4) required for the load, determining there is abnormality in the case where a difference between the two power values exceeds the set error range, and operating to cut off the power supplied from the ESS to the PECs and the power supplied between the PECs.
