PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To smoothly select and apply a running mode that attaches importance to an EV running and a running mode that attaches importance to an HV running in a hybrid vehicle in which the position for braking to strengthen the braking force is selected.SOLUTION: The retarding force is strengthened by the engine operation with motoring when the request power to reflect the request retarding force grows more than Win at the deceleration by an off accelerator. When B range is selected, Win is changed according to the running mode. For concretely, Win is set easy to operate the engine compared with the CD mode that attaches importance to the EV running in the CS mode that attaches importance to the HV running. In addition, the change rate of Win, when changing from the CS mode to the CD mode, is greater set than when changing from the CD mode to the CS mode.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To properly estimate a distance at which a vehicle for generating a travel driving force by using power from a storage apparatus can travel by using a residual capacity of the storage apparatus.SOLUTION: In the vehicle 100 traveling by using power from the storage apparatus 110 mounted to the vehicle, an ECU 300 implements: a step of calculating a reference power consumption based on an average operation point defined by an average vehicle speed and an average driving force for a predetermined period when the vehicle travels by using power from the storage apparatus 110 (S140); a step of calculating an actual power consumption based on the power consumption and a travel distance for the period (S120); steps for calculating a predicted power consumption by a smoothing process based on the reference power consumption and the actual power consumption (S150, S160, S170); and a step of calculating a travelable distance RMD at which the vehicle can travel by residual power in the storage apparatus 110 based on the predicted power consumption and a SOC of the storage apparatus 110 (S180).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress sudden acceleration variation when an engine is restarted in a hybrid vehicle.SOLUTION: An ECU 200 mounted in the hybrid vehicle includes a calculation section 210, a setting section 220, a travel control section 230, and a setting section 240. The calculation section 210 calculates required power Preq required by a user. The setting section 220 sets a battery output restriction value Wout. The travel control section 230 causes a shift to HV travel when Preq reaches Wout+α during EV travel. The setting section 240 sets command power Pcom based on Preq. At that occasion, the setting section 240 performs gradual change processing for restricting variation per unit time of Pcom with respect to reference power Pbase. The setting section 240 usually sets Pbase to a command power previous value Pcom(n-1), but at the time when an engine start condition is satisfied, switches Pbase to an actual travel power previous value Pact (n-1).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hybrid vehicle which more appropriately starts an internal combustion engine for travelling the vehicle only with power from an electric motor with the engine stopped. SOLUTION: In an electric traveling priority mode, a reaction torque for canceling torque which acts on a driving shaft in the case of cranking an engine and a first margin Mgn1 set so as to be inclined to become larger according as an output restriction Wout of a battery is large, and inclined to become smaller according as a vehicle speed V is large are subtracted from motor rated torque so that a first start threshold can be set. Furthermore, a start time electric power in the case of starting the engine and a second margin Mgn2 set so as to be inclined to become larger according as the output restriction Wout of the battery is large, and inclined to become smaller according as the vehicle speed V is large are subtracted from the output restriction Wout of the battery so that a second start threshold can be set. Then, when the request torque reaches a first start threshold or more, or the request power reaches the second start threshold or more, the engine is started. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To continuously control supply of power when no sub-power storage device is connected to a converter in a power supply system that has a main power storage device and a plurality of sub power storage devices, one of which is connected to the converter. SOLUTION: A power system includes a main power storage device (BA), power storage devices (BB1 and BB2), and a converter (12B) connected to one of the sub power storage devices (BB1 and BB2). When SOC of a selected sub power storage device in use drops and no exchangeable sub power storage device remains, the selected sub power storage device in use is disconnected from the converter (12B). At this time, a controller (30) generates a substitute for the detected value of a sensor (21B) for detecting the power parameter of the sub power storage device, and controls power input into or output from the power system based on the value.

SOLUTION: In a motor ECU, the two motors are controlled within a range that a motor ECU assumed consumption power Pm2* reaches a connection overall output limit Woutcof for control or less (S610 to S614), and a target voltage VH* is set (S630). In the motor ECU, when the motor ECU assumed consumption power Pm2* is larger than a power (Wout1+Wouts) (S652), the voltage VH of a high-voltage system is adjusted; the power obtained by adding the half of an excess power ΔP as the power of a difference between the motor ECU assumed consumption power Pm2*; and the power (Wout1+Wouts) to an output limit Wout1 is exchanged among a master battery 50 and the motor MG1 and MG2 sides, and a master-side booster circuit and a slave-side booster circuit are controlled so that the power obtained by adding the half of the excess power ΔP to the output limit Wouts is exchanged among a connection slave battery and the motor sides (S656 to S662).
