Abstract

An output control system includes a first power controller controlling an output of a first power source, a second power controller controlling an output of a second power source, and a controller determining a control mode based on a state of a motor and controlling one or both of the first power controller and the second power controller based on the control mode.

Claims (36)

1. An output control system comprising:

a first power controller configured to control an output of a first power source;

a second power controller configured to control an output of a second power source; and

a controller configured to determine a control mode based on a state of a motor and to control one or both of the first power controller and the second power controller based on the control mode,

wherein the controller is configured to select the control mode among a short-time output mode, a continuous output mode, and a standby mode based on a driving state of the motor,

wherein the short-time output mode drives the motor with a maximum output,

wherein the continuous output mode drives the motor with a given output value, and

wherein the standby mode drives the motor with an output between the output in the short-time output mode and the output in the continuous output mode.

2. The output control system of claim 1 , wherein the first power source is a battery, and the second power source is a fuel cell.

3. The output control system of claim 1 , wherein the control mode includes one of a first control mode, a second control mode, and a third control mode, and

wherein the controller is configured to determine the control mode based on a temperature of the motor.

4. The output control system of claim 3 , wherein the controller is configured to determine the control mode to be the first control mode, when the temperature of the motor is a first temperature or more,

wherein the controller is configured to determine the control mode to be the second control mode, when the temperature of the motor is less than the first temperature and is a second temperature or more, and

wherein the controller is configured to determine the control mode to be the third control mode, when the temperature of the motor is less than the second temperature.

5. The output control system of claim 4 , wherein, in the first control mode, the controller is configured to allow the first power controller to control the output of the first power source such that a minimum output is provided and to allow the second power controller to control the output of the second power source based on the state of the motor.

6. The output control system of claim 4 , wherein, in the second control mode, the controller is configured to allow the second power controller to fix the output of the second power source to a given value and to allow the first power controller to control the output of the first power source based on the state of the motor.

7. The output control system of claim 6 , wherein the given value is an output value of the motor in the continuous output mode.

8. An output control method comprising:

determining a control mode based on a state of a motor;

selecting the control mode among a short-time output mode, a continuous output mode, and a standby mode based on the state of the motor; and

controlling one or both of an output of a first power source and an output of a second power source based on the control mode,

wherein the short-time output mode drives the motor with a maximum output,

wherein the continuous output mode drives the motor with a given output value, and

wherein the standby mode drives the motor with an output between the output in the short-time output mode and the output in the continuous output mode.

9. The output control method of claim 8 , wherein the control mode includes one of a first control mode, a second control mode, and a third control mode, and

wherein the determining the control mode based on the state of the motor includes:

determining the control mode to be the first control mode, when the state of the motor is a first temperature or more;

determining the control mode to be the second control mode, when the state of the motor is less than the first temperature and is a second temperature or more; and

determining the control mode to be the third control mode, when the state of the motor is less than the second temperature.

10. The output control method of claim 8 , wherein, in the second control mode, the output of the second power source is fixed to a given value, and the output of the first power source is controlled based on the state of the motor.

11. The output control method of claim 8 , wherein, in the third control mode, the output of the first power source is controlled to be set to a minimum output, and the output of the second power source is controlled based on the state of the motor.

12. An output control system comprising:

a first power controller configured to control an output of a first power source;

a second power controller configured to control an output of a second power source; and

a controller configured to determine a control mode based on a state of a motor and to control one or both of the first power controller and the second power controller based on the control mode, wherein the controller is configured to allow the first power controller to control the output of the first power source such that a minimum output is provided and to allow the second power controller to control the output of the second power source based on the state of the motor.

13. The output control system of claim 12 , wherein the first power source is a battery, and the second power source is a fuel cell.
