<p>Controller configured to control electric power generating and/or consuming components of a hybrid vehicle, wherein the controller (1) comprises a plurality of control modules (11, 12, 13) that are configured to control the components (C) to carry out a plurality of respective electric power generating and consuming functions, for example:
-a Charging function to generate electrical energy by driving an electric power generator of the hybrid vehicle using an engine of the vehicle;
-a Boost function to increase torque using an electromotor;
-a Regenerative braking function, which recovers vehicle kinetic energy by driving an electric power generator without using the engine; and
-an eDrive function wherein the electromotor uses electric energy to provide torque, particularly without support from the engine;
wherein each control module (11, 12, 13) is associated with one or more respective input variables, wherein the control modules (11, 12, 13) are associated with different priorities with respect to each other, wherein each of the control modules (11, 12, 13) is configured to indicate a demand for execution of the respective function depending on the one or more respective input variables,
wherein, in the case that more than one module (11, 12, 13) indicates a demand for its function's execution, the controller (1) is configured to allow the control module (11, 12, 13) to execute its function that has the highest priority of those control modules indicating the demand for their function's execution.</p> |
