A combined driving structure is made up of an engine (IC101) and an electrical machine (E101). The engine is connected to the electrical machine through a clutch (FC101,FC102) which allows the electrical machine to be used as a starting motor for the battery, and when the engine is started, allows the engine to drive a load and also to drive the electrical machine to operate as a generator. In addition, the electrical machine can be operated as a motor at low speeds to drive the load by electrical power when the engine is stopped, and as a generator to provide regenerative braking for charging the battery, either with or without friction damping of the engine by the clutch. <IMAGE> |
