APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING A CASCADED HYBRID CONSTRUCTION MACHINE SYSTEM AND A METHOD THEREFOR
First Claim
1. An apparatus for controlling a series hybrid construction machine system, comprising:
- a control unit configured to differently control an electric motor that drives an actuator based on a result of determining whether the actuator of the construction machine performs a regenerative operation and whether an energy storage device is in an unchargeable state; and
a motor driver switched under the control of the control unit and configured to drive or stop the electric motor.

Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus for controlling a cascaded hybrid construction machine system and a method therefor, which apparatus includes: a control part for controlling an electric motor for driving an actuator differently according to whether or not the actuator performs a recovery action and whether or not an energy storage device can be recharged; and a motor driver for driving or stopping the electric motor by switching under the control of the control unit, wherein when the actuator performs a recovery action for both the overcharged state and the failure state of the energy storage device, the motor for driving the actuator is temporarily stopped by the switching of the motor driver so as to restrain the recovery energy generated, thus protecting the hybrid power source system and keeping the operator safe as well as resolving the problem of the working time being increased due to the system'"'"'s shutting off.

5. A method for controlling a series hybrid construction machine system comprising a control unit configured to control an electric motor and a motor driver configured to drive or stop the electric motor, the method comprising:
-
a first determination step of determining whether an actuator of the construction machine performs a regenerative operation based on a value obtained by converting a manipulation value of a joystick into a digital value; a second determination step of determining whether an energy storage device is in an unchargeable state based on an SOC (State of Charge) value obtained from the energy storage device; and a first control step of controlling the motor driver to stop the electric motor that drives the actuator if it is determined that the actuator of the construction machine performs the regenerative operation and the energy storage device is in the unchargeable state as a result of determination by first and second determination steps. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)
