    Abstract: A vehicle control device includes processor configured to execute computer-readable instructions to perform. The processor is configured to acquiring a state of a first battery and a state of a second battery, acquiring at least first actual output power of the first battery, calculating a first upper power limit value based on the state of the first battery, calculating a second upper power limit value based on the state of the second battery, and controlling a power conversion process of a power convertor based on the calculated upper power limit values, requested power from a vehicle to be output to a motor, and the first actual output power. The controlling of the power conversion process includes, when output instruction content for iteratively issuing an instruction is determined, calculating the second requested power obtained by correcting currently requested power based on a difference between previously requested power and the first actual output power.

    Abstract: A power storage system has a battery, a three-phase motor in which coils of three phases are connected at a neutral point, an inverter connected on an electric power transmission path between the battery and the three-phase motor, and a DC power supply circuit connected to a connection portion positioned on an electric power transmission path between the inverter and the battery. The battery includes two power storages and a switch unit that switches between a first voltage state where the two power storages are connected in series and chargeable at a first voltage, and a second voltage state where the two power storages are connected in parallel and chargeable at a second voltage. The DC power supply circuit has a branch circuit connected to a coil of any one phase among the coils of three phases at a positive electrode side of the DC power supply circuit.

    Abstract: A vehicle control device includes a processor configured to execute computer-readable instructions to perform. The processor is configured to acquiring a state of a first battery and a state of a second battery having lower capacity and higher power than the first battery, calculating a first upper power limit value based on the state of the first battery, calculating a second upper power limit value based on the state of the second battery, and calculating a power output ratio between amounts of electric power to be supplied from the first battery and the second battery to a motor that outputs motive power for traveling based on the first upper power limit value and the second upper power limit value, and controlling electric power to be output to the motor based on a traveling mode of a vehicle, a maximum driving force in the motor, and the power output ratio. The controlling of the electric power includes changes the maximum amount of electric power based on whether or not the traveling mode is a first traveling mode in which traveling performance has higher priority than that in another traveling mode.

    Abstract: A power supply system includes a battery pack including a solid-state battery cell and a restraining member, and a battery control device which controls power on charge and discharge of the battery pack. During a charge of the battery pack, the restraining member is compressed due to expansion of the solid-state battery cell, and a surface pressure applied to the solid-state battery cell is increased. During a discharge of the battery pack, the restraining member is restored due to contraction of the solid-state battery cell, and the surface pressure is decreased. The battery control device performs control to limit an output opening rate of the battery pack in a case where a temperature of the battery pack is equal to or higher than a control start temperature, and sets the control start temperature based on a usage state of the battery pack and a battery state of the battery pack.
