POWER SUPPLY DEVICE AND VEHICLE

摘要

A power source mounted on a hybrid vehicle (100) includes: a capacitor (C1) which can be charged and discharged; a power I/O unit (40) for inputting and outputting power between a charge/discharge device (50) installed outside of the hybrid vehicle (100) and the capacitor (C1); a temperature sensor (21) for detecting temperature (Tc) of the capacitor (C1); and a control device (30) which increases the temperature of the capacitor (C1) by charging from the charge/discharge device (50) to the capacitor (C1) or discharging from the capacitor (C1) to the charge/discharge device (50) when the control device has judged that the temperature of the capacitor (C1) should be increased according to the detection result of the temperature sensor (21). Thus, it is possible to increase the temperature of the capacitor (C1) without consuming the power of the inverters (14, 15) or the like.
