Control System for Electric Vehicle, and Electric Vehicle Equipped Therewith
First Claim
1. A control system for an electric vehicle, comprising:
- an electricity storage device that performs charging and discharging of electrical power;
a plurality of load devices that receive supply of electrical power from the electricity storage device and perform operations of the electric vehicle; and
a control device that controls the electricity storage device and the plurality of load devices, wherein;
when electrical power is supplied from the electricity storage device to the plurality of load devices, the control device calculates a charge/discharge efficiency of the electricity storage device and a working efficiency of each of the load devices, and regulates an amount of electrical power supplied from the electricity storage device to each of the load devices, so as to enhance an overall efficiency of the electricity storage device and the plurality of load devices;
an electric machine for propelling the electric vehicle and a temperature regulation device that performs air conditioning of an interior of a passenger compartment or cooling of an onboard device are included in the plurality of load devices;
when the electrical power for driving the electric machine varies, the control device regulates the electrical power supplied from the electricity storage device to the load devices other than the electric machine, so as to enhance the overall efficiency with the electrical power for the electric machine having varied; and
the control device reduces the electrical power for driving the temperature regulation device when the electrical power for driving the electric machine has been increased, so that the overall efficiency after increase of the electrical power supplied to the electric machine is enhanced, and increase of the electrical power supplied to the electric machine is enhanced, and increases the electrical power for driving the temperature regulation device when the electrical power for driving the electric machine has been decreased, so that the overall efficiency after decrease of the electrical power supplied to the electric machine is enhanced.
